Thank you to the @Classical_Assoc and all the wonderful colleagues in schools, charities, prisons, museums, subject associations and policy organisations with whom I have collaborated.
This is recognition of our #collective successes.

I am very proud of this new open access @routledgebooks volume.
It showcases how #research #evidence from #Classics & #Ancient #History influences contemporary #public #policymaking.
Our subject community is now able to evidence our relevance & impact with a new vocabulary.
