We were delighted to welcome the London Classicists of Colour as our second guest speaker at The Forum.
London Classicists of Colour is a society led by students based at UCL committed to continuing the education of all classicists in matters surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion.
At this meeting, students had the opportunity to participate in the Q&A and share their thoughts on the importance of improving access to classical subjects in state schools and universities.
