Conferences and public readings

The project held a series of conferences and workshops on early modern Scotland's relationship with Latin and Classical culture during its active research phase, and the project team also took the DPS 'on tour' for a series of talks and readings at universities, libraries and public events. An account of these can be found in our News Archive.
