WHO ARE WE?

We are a society led by a committee of UOL Classicists, hoping to create a safe space, community, and a support network for students of colour across UOL. We are also committed to continuing the education of all classicists in matters surrounding decolonisation and race. We regularly host talks, socials, discussion groups and welfare events to build community and learn from one another.

OPEN LETTER

 FLCOC emerged in January 2021 as a reaction to the lack of EDI work completed in Classics departments in the Universities of London. There has been a need for increased pastoral support for students of colour, a decolonised and accessible curriculum, and better financial and material support for staff in decolonising the classical curriculum in Universities.

Inspired by our colleagues in the Christian Cole Society and other powerful voices who have delivered open letters to institutions in the past, we as the London Classicists of Colour deliver this letter to these departments in order to bring forth concrete and transparent changes. Our committee and student representatives are passionate about this message, and have been working hard within the society to provide events and resources to students in need of pastoral support and a desire to learn about decolonisation in Classics. However, our work as a small student society is not enough to enact change across the Universities of London, which is why we implore you to sign our Open Letter and show your support for the need to decolonise.

You do not have to be a POC or UOL-affiliated to sign the letter – if you are in support of the letter, you can sign! For a summary of the letter, please refer to our Instagram profile @londonclassicistsofcolour

DONATE

Our society firmly believes that our speakers and contributors deserve to be compensated for the decolonisation work that they perform within the field; too often it is an exhausting and time-consuming process. In a bid to ensure that from now on our speakers are paid for their efforts, we are now kindly requesting donations from our supporters. 100% of our proceeds fund the payment of our speakers and LCOC's maintenance.
