Our Mission
We were founded in 1972 to foster feminist and gender-informed perspectives in the study and teaching of all aspects of ancient Mediterranean cultures and classical antiquity.
We — women and men scholars, together — also strive to advance the goals of equality and diversity within the profession of Classics.
