Loved being with OU_Classics and OU Arts & Social Sciences colleagues at the launch of our new research centre this week! At a time when some are unsure what the Humanities bring to the world, it’s great to be surrounded by people at the The Open University who have so many answers to that question.

Incredibly humbled that the Working Classicists nominated me their Classicist of the Year! It’s v meaningful to me that even as I’m so strongly opposed by those comfortable with an exclusionary model of Classics, I’m so undeservedly appreciated by those who want something better. 🥰

Congratulations to our very own Dr Marchella Ward (always 'Chella') for being awarded 'Classicist of the Year' for 2024 by Working Classicists. Well done Chella, this is very well deserved!

A few years back I thought something’s missing in my life. That void was being a Classicist. Open Uni worked for me and whilst I was a single parent working two jobs. I will always belong in the ruins 🏛️ #OUresults The Open University OU_Classics #Archaeology
