I am an alumni from 1980 – 1983 archaeology. I was there in the days of Colin Renfrew, Clive Gamble, Tim Champion, etc. Ah, happy days! I loved it there – three of the happiest years of my life. I also met my then future husband in the department. Sadly we are no longer together and I was unable to pursue a career in archaeology due to illness and then subsequent disability. However, I have never lost my interest in the subject and ‘am thrilled to be able to study on the Portus MOOC

I completed a post-graduate social work training at So’ton, 1973-74. I’m also a MOOC addict and have completed more than twenty, including some with FutureLearn. I did the first iteration of Archaology’s Dirty Little Secrets with Coursera last year, and this year I was a Community TA on the same course. I’m really looking forward to Portus!

I am an alumna from Ship Science in 1976-79. I have always been fascinated by Roman history since Primary School. I really look forward to this course.

As an alumni from 1994 electromechanical engineering but having worked in 3d modeling history and theology, I am very interested in what I am going to learn here!
