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….

The transformations Classics needs are wide-ranging, even daunting. This report is a call for collective responsibility. If it can be a springboard for the difficult but necessary conversations needed to bring about change, it will have begun to serve its purpose.

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.

Day 10: mind the gaps. There are ‘gaps’ in the Classics pipeline that disproportionately affect working-class classicists. Our report shows a range of experiences behind the ‘leaky pipeline’ statistics that we shared last week, including those that begin at school.

🗣️“Although widening participation initiatives (from which I benefitted) have succeeded in getting more working-class people into universities, there is no support once you are there - to guide you through the university process, to encourage you to do a masters, etc.”
