What do Oxford Classics students do after they graduate? This was one of the questions that we asked Mai Musié, Outreach Officer for the Faculty of Classics, when we caught up with her earlier in the autumn at the Festival of Ancient Tales. Mai was at the festival promoting the Classics Outreach programme, which offers a wide range of activities for schools from taster days and cross-disciplinary days to talks and workshops. If you are a teacher/parent/student and interested in what the largest Classics faculty in the world has to offer, please do get in touch with Mai by email at outreach@classics.ox.ac.uk.
ps. Mai is also part of the Classics in Communities project - we'll ask her to tell us about that next time!

![Growing Up in Roman Egypt, with April Pudsey
This week Classics Confidential talks to Dr April Pudsey of Birkbeck College, University of London about her research into children and childhood in Roman Egypt. April tells us about a new project on the Oxyrhynchus papyri which aims to identify and explore diverse aspects of the ancient experience of childhood [read about it here on the paides blog: http://bit.ly/QJbCXe]. We learn about the types of documents that survive amongst the papyri, and the insight that these sources can give us into topics ranging from apprenticeship schemes and epikrisis (a public ceremony confirming a boys entrance into a privileged social Group in the city) to infant mortality and breastfeeding. We also discover why paternal uncles and grandmothers played particularly important roles in a Romano-Egyptian childs life.
