Date: 11-13 June 2025
Location: Department of Classics & Ancient History, Durham University, 38 N. Bailey, Durham, DH1 3EU, UK
The UKRI-funded
Aristoteles Pezographos research
group at Durham University announces a workshop in Durham, in co-sponsorship with the Durham Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy (
DCAMP),
on 11-13 June 2025. The workshop will pursue three separate but interlinked aims:
(1) Defining Aristotelian lexis and recognizing its methodological applications across Aristotle’s corpus;
(2) Determining the impact of lexis on the constitution of the human agent in Aristotle’s works (including, but not exclusive to, rhetoric and poetics);
(3) Evaluating the ancient reception of Aristotelian lexis in philosophical, scientific, technical, and medical literature after Aristotle’s death (from the 4th century BCE – the 6th century CE)
Speakers: Edoardo Benati (Padova), Giulia Bonasio (Durham), Pierre Destrée (Louvain), Jamie Dow (Leeds), Phillip Horky (Durham), Doug Hutchinson (Toronto), Monte Johnson (San Diego), Andreas Kindler (Tübingen), Myriam Lazzaro (Catania), Laura Viidebaum

This workshop is open to the public and will be hybrid. To register your attendance, please contact Dr Rosie Wyles (

Dr Wyles will then be able to provide a link for those wishing to attend remotely.
Additionally, we have limited funds to support PhD students and early career colleagues to attend the workshop. If you are a PhD student or early career colleague who would like to request funding support to attend, please email Dr Rosie Wyles (
