These are the parts of event organising that we might fear that take too much time and effort, but they make the whole event more enjoyable for all participants, not just those of us who need supports to engage. Proud to be part of the #AWAWS community, thankful for convos like this, doing the work!

Disability in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies: Where We Are and Ways Forward The event explores disability and neurodivergence in classics and related disciplines, and the current state of ancient disability studies.
