Dr Charlie Kerrigan

Assistant Professor In Latin

My work combines linguistic, literary, and historical interests in Latin. Previous projects include a history of Virgil’s Georgics in the British empire, and a short history of the Latin language for students and general readers. I specialise in classical reception, especially relating to Virgil, and in access and public engagement work. I run the Latin Inscriptions of Ireland project and organise talks and workshops for schools and community groups.
