Today's Class Pay Gap Day, the point in the year when professionals from working class backgrounds stop earning relative to their peers. Do remember to take the class in Classics survey if you haven't done so yet!

We were absolutely thrilled to help @henrystead and Florence Rogers of @StA_Classics to launch STALOS (St Andrews Latin Outreach Scheme) with @MonifiethHigh today.

A hugely important step in bringing Latin to Scottish state-schools.

Great teachers and great pupils! ��🏻🏺

"It was very clear from the accumulation of stories at the workshop that these are the bad old days. The bad old days aren’t in the past. The bad old days are now." Lilah Grace and Mirko Canevaro on the first meeting of the Working-Class Classics Network https://t.co/XgmUWYg53w

Congratulations to @henrystead and @edithmayhall. This book shows the close connection the classics have had for centuries with popular taste. My one criticism was that it started in 1689 not 1620 and so omitted the textile workers who took Pliny, Seneca and Aristotle to America.

[Tom Sutcliffe @tds153]

What did the Classics ever do for us? Really enjoyed talking to @edithmayhall and @AnsgarAllen for Start the Week this morning. Also, I believe, the first time this programme has addressed the important question of the Fart Philosophical.

[Henry Stead @henrystead]

Great to hear @edithmayhall on @BBCRadio4 Start the Week this morning! She spoke about about Classics and class and our book A People’s History of #Classics. Here’s a clip @classicsandclas @StA_Classics @RoutledgeHist @kingsclassics

[Henry Stead @henrystead]

This was our first @classicsandclas video back in 2013. @drjmcconnell was v professional, prepared to talk about US abolitionist Sarah Parker Remond at Edward Spencer Beesly's graveside. I managed a couple of words and did the rest in post... https://t.co/pGE6qcBUe7 via @YouTube

[Henry Stead @henrystead]

Edith's going to be on @BBCRadio4's Start the Week on Monday talking about our book 'A People's History of Classics' @classicsandclas @RoutledgeHist @StA_Classics
