Expanding Our Professional Embrace: The American Philological Association/Society for Classical Studies 1970–2019

summary:

Focused on the organization's history and leadership over the past half-century, this paper looks back to its first century in reflecting on the increasingly prominent role accorded classicists of previously marginalized and indeed excluded backgrounds—not only women, but also Jews, Catholics, gays, émigrés, and those from non-privileged backgrounds and non-elite institutions. It also analyzes as well as surveys how the Women's Classical Caucus participated in transforming the APA.
