In Jan 2017 we started a blog where those interested in social justice in Classics could collect resources, post opinion pieces, present write-ups of meetings and events. In 2017 the blog had 11 000 views from 6 000 visitors.

Hi all, we're thinking about the next year and what we should be doing as a community. We'd love some input: Is there any way that we can help people with the fallout from the exhausting year? Can we be more of a support network than yet another drain on people's energy/time?

LCOC is holding its first symposium! This is an informal academic and social event for all students to present research on any topics relating to classics, decolonisation, and race.

A new entry in our LUMINARIES interview series: Prof. Tracey Walters talks about her first encounters with Black women writers who "managed to democratize and appropriate Classics while also challenging the role of Classics as a marker of legitimacy." eosafricana.org/luminaries/tra…

Broken my blog hiatus to offer a write-up of a racist incident on the Classicists list this week, and why this event and yesterday's Sportula Europe x London Classicist of Colour panel discussion both show why BIPOC-only spaces are so valuable in Classics. mixedupinclassics.wordpress.com/2021/05/19/lis…

The Sportula: Microgrants for Classics Students@Libertinopatren·
You all were able to raise the money needed for these 3 urgent micro grants!! Thank you so much! We currently still have a back log of 17 less urgent requests that we will be unable to grant until next months patreon comes thru so donations are always needed and welcome!
The Sportula: Microgrants for Classics Students@Libertinopatren

We have 3 urgent Microgrant requests that we will not be able to fill this month due to our back log unless we receive more donations via GoFundMe(gf.me/u/zb3bks) or our Venmo (@ Sportula). Please donate if you are able to, their situations are very precarious.

CUCD-EDI stands in solidarity and support of the trans community and its exhausting struggle for legal recognition in and out of Classics. Do follow this thread of @SportulaEurope for a number of excellent resources
Sportula Europe@SportulaEurope

It should go without saying that academics ought to vocally & unequivocally disavow transphobia if they want the trust of their trans students & colleagues. What else can academics do to support trans people in their disciplines? Comment below with suggestions #ClassicsTwitter

We are really excited about this event! Thanks to @agameganon for setting this up. #ClassicsTwitter, we would appreciate if you could help us advertise this! Looking forward to meeting more folx on Saturday!

Hi all! With the help of @TransinClassics I’ve arranged a Zoom social for trans and nonbinary Classicists, this Saturday. It’s been a heavy week for everyone, and I hope this will be an opportunity to foster a warm, friendly, and supportive environment.

Trans rights are human rights, and human rights are trans rights. Classics should have no room for transphobia (including TERF transphobia) and zero tolerance of harassment. The greater your megaphone, the greater your responsibility to use it safely & humanely. #ClassicsTwitter

Thread 🧵 updated with links to some Classics-specific resources about trans, non-binary and GNC people in antiquity and in ancient world studies. Standing against transphobia also means learning from & uplifting trans perspectives, and working to make higher ed. more inclusive.

Are you looking for books by trans and non-binary people, to learn more about their experiences and to celebrate their achievements & creativity? Well here's a 🧵of books from my TBR pile. (Sadly haven't had the energy to do as much reviewing this year as I'd hoped.)

Alright US #ClassicsTwitter folks. I have gone through Alok Vaid-Menon's "Book Reports" as well as collated sources from a couple of other sources to try and make a list similar to that made by @MixedClassicist (1/)
Dr. Alicia Matz@duxfeminafacti9

#ClassicsTwitter colleagues in the US, if you want a similar reading list, I suggest checking out Alok Menon's instagram. I am working on going through their book reviews and pulling the titles that seem most relevant.
