Race, Data, and Classics

Abstract

The focus of this article is a 2019–2020 demographic data collection, visualization, and analysis project on race and Classics. Based on the findings of the project, this article advances arguments in favor of regular, frequent, and well-publicized demographic data gathering and visualization as practices crucial for effective, research-driven diversity and inclusion efforts in Classics. By fueling and bolstering these efforts, such practices have the potential to expand and reshape the boundaries of Classics as a discipline.
