This year's AGM will take place on 3 May, at Durham University (and as a hybrid event). The deadline to submit a proposal for a spotlight talk is this coming Friday, 15 March! We are particularly interested in talks that address the AGM’s theme of 'Labour and rest'

It’s #AutismAcceptanceMonth and instead of relying on symbolic puzzle pieces and blue banners, we need to uplift and amplify actual autistic voices.
@drcorabeth wrote this wonderful article for @CucdEdi and it remains a necessary read in April:

I attended the launch of the Network for Working Class Classicists ‘UK Class in Classics report’ today @classinclassics. Thanks given to @CucdEdi and @classical_assoc for their support.
This report provides essential data to inform *and improve* the future of our field(s).

Please take time to read this carefully researched and thoughtful report on Class in Classics in the UK - we're hoping it will pave the way for more open conversations and better practice, both in the discipline and in academia more broadly

The report was made possible by funding from @CucdEdi & @Classical_Assoc. It would also not exist without the labour (paid, unpaid and underpaid) of its authors and survey respondents. Thank you, deeply, to everyone who shared their experiences with us.
