@WorkClassicists Thanks for asking. We're not planning to record this one, but it's very much an initial launch rather than the final word and there will be more events in the future - maybe we could co-host one together? We can also post some Q&As on the website afterwards.

@ClassInClassics (us included, I'm afraid)

The Class in Classics report has been live for two weeks! Thank you to everyone who has read, shared & engaged with the report. Join us for an online launch event on Thursday 14 March, 1-2pm GMT. Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/class-in-cla… #classicstwitter

PS - The Zoom link for the event is shared via Eventbrite after you've registered. This page gives a helpful summary of instructions: pressesrenaissancepress.ca/2020/10/12/how…

This launch event will be a chance to discuss the report’s findings, as well as reflections on and reactions to it. It will include time for Q&As. If you'd like to submit a question in advance, please email nwcc[at]ed[dot]ac[dot]uk. We won't identify those asking questions.

"The Class in Classics report gives us at the WCC UK a useful lens through which to view our own initiatives" Huge thanks to @drcorabeth on behalf of @womeninclassics for reading and reviewing our report! wcc-uk.blogs.sas.ac.uk/2024/02/27/cla… #classicstwitter

UK Class in Classics report shows social class disparities heighten for more senior academic roles. Yet more evidence that EDI agendas are flawed if they exclude socio-economic background. Need more studies on class-based discrimination in academe. workingclassclassics.uk/2024/02/25/uk-….

@Lem_Exeter Thank you so much for highlighting the report!

@AntonioCilibri2 Thank you for highlighting the report!

Very important study… class still matters!
