Students will apply knowledge and skills gained in research design, research governance and management etc., covered in prior modules, to carry out a substantial empirical research project drawing on theoretical and/or clinical issues of importance to populations with communication disorders.  Students’ work will be overseen by a named supervisor(s).  As well as writing a research report, students produce and present an academic poster.  Many previous students have used their poster to present their work at conferences and study days after completing their degree. Drawing on teaching in HCSC0003: Research in Practice, students also develop an impact plan relating to their research project.  Understanding how research impact can be maximised is a critical for allied health professionals working in today’s health, education and care settings.

Teaching Delivery: This module is taught in 10 weekly lectures.

Content: An introduction to the study of Greek papyri, documentary as well as literary, each class will focus on a small number of texts, one or two of which will be studied in detail on a photograph. The texts are chosen to illustrate the development of Greek book hands and cursive scripts; to examine formal aspects of the transmission of Greek literature on papyrus; and to give an idea of the range of documentary types available as sources for the history of Graeco-Roman Egypt.

Skills: By the end of the module students should have acquired a good idea about the development of Greek writing across six centuries and techniques for deciphering it; become familiar with several varieties of non-literary post-classical Greek; and gained an understanding of the pitfalls and materiality of transmission of Greek literature.
