What is Working Classicists?
Working Classicists is a collective project aiming to democratise the study of the ancient world, and raise its profile in state schools.
Since 2021, we have platformed more than a hundred writers in our Zine, spoken at conferences and schools, built bridges with other organisations, and provided a source of solidarity for pupils, students, academics and enthusiasts from the state sector.
We believe that the study of Sophocles, Plato, Sappho, Augustus, Claudius, Cleopatra et al should not become a plaything for the privately educated, and that access to this field must be broadened for the benefit of the 93% who attend state schools, and for the sake of the subjects themselves.
