The Bulletin used to publish annual Classics statistic, and Covid brought a hiatus. After some reworking, we have a restart. Huge thanks to everyone who helped and we hope they’re useful. Feedback welcome. cucd.blogs.sas.ac.uk/files/2024/0...

New article out courtesy of Matthew Fox, on the Venice Biennale. An important read for those interested in art and / or Classical reception generally. cucd.blogs.sas.ac.uk/files/2024/0...

Here are some of our thoughts on the Class in Classics NWCC report that came out today. And then some more thoughts. And some more. Strap in... t.co/50JxYDl79H

Finally updated my Blog with all the summer schools I've seen advertised so far. There are gaps where I need to proactively look them up... I'll fill those in soon. In the meantime, cressidaryan.wordpress.com/summer-schoo... @classicsacademy.bsky.social

Please support this fantastic transcription service which employs disabled people and does fantastic work. It would be terrible to see them close.

I did a blog post about precisely what horrors were waiting for me when I opened up the e-mail this morning:

Last year saw a range of pieces in addition to #ClassicsTober. Here's a roundup... 1.) Obituary for Joyce Reynolds cucd.blogs.sas.ac.uk/files/2023/0...

So yes, CUCD Bulletin is here, edited by @cressidaryan.bsky.social and Tom Nelson. We have a number of fascinating, interesting, useful, and potentially even provocative pieces in the pipeline, but are always open to new ideas. Please do get in touch!

1st post! We were challenged to include animals, but I'm fudging it slightly with a huge thank you to @corabeth.bsky.social & @greekmythcomix.bsky.social for their piece on #ClassicsTober and Creativity in Classics cucd.blogs.sas.ac.uk/files/2023/1...
