Welcome Hardeep Dhindsa, our newest Expert in Residence and a PhD researcher at King’s College London where he specialises in classical art and its receptions.

In this episode, we travel from Roman graffiti through to the Renaissance, learn how Hadrian inspired 18th century collectors, receive some top museum recommendations and find out which famous faces are lurking in Hardeep’s office! 

Hardeep is currently working on his doctoral thesis which questions the relationship between ethno-nationalism and imperial identity on the eighteenth-century British Grand Tour. In 2022 he undertook a Leverhulme Study Abroad Studentship at the British School at Rome, where he researched the wider relationship between classical antiquity and the British Empire.
