Prof Alison Sharrock

Biography

I came to Manchester in August, 2000, after eleven years at the University of Keele. Previous to that, I studied at the University of Liverpool (BA, 1984) and the University of Cambridge (PhD, 1988). I have been Editor of the Journal of Roman Studies, and also Director of Research in the School of Arts, Histories & Cultures. Most of the last 10 years has gone on being Head of the Division of ARC, then Head of the Department of CAHAE, within the School of Arts, Languages, and Cultures. Within the department, my particular interests are in the teaching of Latin literature and language. I recently developed interactive online materials to support the learning of Latin from the beginnings to advanced level, recognised by students and the University in the award of 'outstanding technology-enhanced teaching' in 2021.
