Proceedings of the Third Annual Student Research Festival

Abstract

The third annual Student Research Festival, which took place on the 22nd of April 2015, was an occasion to celebrate students’ creative and scholarly interests and to offer them the possibility to share those interests with a receptive academic and non-academic audience. The event gathered speakers from different levels of studies – ranging from the first year undergraduate students to postgraduate students at the verge of completing their MAs – and an audience that comprised of the invited guests as well as of the students and the staff from various institutes of the Department of Philology. The presentations delivered by the speakers not only managed to attract the attention of the Festival’s guests, but, more importantly, also incited a fruitful intellectual debate. A debate which, hopefully, enriched the Festival’s participants – be it by shedding a new light on the well-known works or by deepening one’s understanding of newly-encountered problems – and which resulted in the present volume.
