Venue: Jane Harrison Room, Newnham College, Cambridge

Join Roberta Mazza (Associate Professor, University of Bologna) and an expert panel for a public discussion of her sensational recent book Stolen Fragments, which explores the complicity between the academic world and illegal trade in papyrus fragments.

Roberta will respond to questions from Tom Harrison (Keeper of the Department of Greece and Rome at the British Museum), Suzanne Paul (Keeper of Manuscripts and Rare Books at the University Library) and Tim Whitmarsh (Regius Professor of Greek). Shushma Malik (Assistant Professor of Classics) will chair the event.

There will be plenty of opportunity to put your own questions to Roberta and the panel.
