And we're off! After a brief technical snafu, we begin with an exciting panel catching us up on all things Inclusive Classics Initiative from the last few years #ICI2023 @MAPPOLA_ERC Dr Amy Coker

And after over a year in the making, the conference is underway! We’ve got a great line up of speakers and it’s not too late to join us online! #ICI2023 Inclusive Classics Initiative

Panel two introduces a topic near and dear to my heart (Justin L Biggi (he/they)), chaired by A.Christophilopoulou, about decolonising the museum. With presentations by Sujatha Chandrasekaran, Natasha Rao, Ashton Rodgers & MultakaOxford. #SCS2023

After a brief break, we inaugurate Panel 3, on Antiracism, asking important & valuable questions about the state of academia right now. Chaired by Tulsi Parikh, with a brief opening statement from @ZenaKamash and talks by Charles Ro and Domnhall Crystal. #ICI2023

Session 4 chaired by Dr. Debby Sneed on disability features important discussions on lived experience by Katerina Velentza, non-normative spatial experiences with Max Myers, and disability narratives in museums with Dr. Alexandra F. Morris. #ICI2023

Fuelled up and a pretty view? All ready for my turn to present at the #ICI2023 day 3! Inclusive Classics Initiative

We are excited for our 3rd (and sadly, last!) day of #ICI2023 Our first panel is about public art & archaeology, with talks by David Tootill London School of Mosaic, Andrew J Roberts on public engagement, Ersin Hussein on Cypriot-Welsh heritage and Alison Hadfield on wellbeing & collections.

Another panel I (Justin L Biggi (he/they)) am really excited for, queerness and archaeology, is just starting! @clairellette presents on miniature objects, TJ on ancient genderqueer rep, and Tatiana Ivleva on masculinity, sexuality and "the wicked Roman soldiers". #ICI2023

And to finish this wonderful conference, a roundtable discussion featuring @SamAgbamu, Peter Swallow MP and Ashley Chhibber, about Classical material culture teaching in schools, the importance of access & outreach. #ICI2023

And that's a wrap on #ICI2023! Thank you again for all who came, either on-line or in-person, for everyone who shared their views, their thoughts, their scholarship and their art. We hope you had as a fantastic & enriching time as we did.
