News from the Committee.

Welcome to 2026, a year bringing changes as the new Director commences her revitalisation of the Friends' Groups. We also started the new AAIA/QFAAIA membership fees.

​

Our first function for the year was a chance to meet the R.D. Milns Antiquities Museum Summer Scholar Project recipient, Imogen Walsh. We also welcomed Fiona Beavis, the Arts Faculty Advancement & Community Engagement Officer. 

Associate Professor Pritchard was our guest speaker and he presented his new research into the 'Cadetship of Classical Athens'.

 

Watch out for our May function. A first for QFAAIA. We will host the 'Mare Nostrum', an Ancient Historical Society presenting enactments. Their show will feature hoplites with armour and weapons. Not to be missed!!

 

Imogen will be our guest speaker at the AGM in July. And the AAIA Gale Visiting Professor has been announced; Tyler Jo Smith D.Phil., FSA, Professor of Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Virginia. There she is the Director of the Interdisciplinary Archaeology Program.
