Professor Lorna Hardwick

Lorna Hardwick teaches in the Department of Classical Studies at the Open University where she is Professor of Classical Studies and Director of the Reception of Classical Texts Research project (http://www2.open.ac.uk/ClassicalStudies/GreekPlays).

Her publications relating to classical drama and modern performances include Translating Words, Translating Cultures (Duckworth, 2000), New Surveys In The Classics: Reception Studies (Oxford University Press, 2003) and Classics & Anti-Colonialism: Decolonising Classics In Dionysus Since '69 (eds E Hall, F Macintosh & A Wrigley, Oxford University Press, 2004).

She is currently working on modern adaptations and performances of Greek drama in post-colonial contexts.

When she is not involved in her teaching or research work, Lorna regularly goes to the theatre for pleasure (and to the races).
