About Me

My photo
Susan Deacy
London, United Kingdom
I am a classicist who researches and teaches ancient Greece, especially its mythmaking. This interest has led to various projects on deities and other personages and on what they meant in antiquity and what they have meant, and can mean, since then, including for autistic people. I have written several books, including one which presents a set of Hercules-themed activities for autistic children. For some of my initiatives, including around trying to diversify Classics, I won a National Teaching Fellowship (2015) and became a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (2016). I hold several academic positions including at Bristol University where I'm currently Honorary Professor.
