Why keep Classics at Leeds? For many reasons - not least the opportunities we open up for our graduates. Elton Barker, of one of our former students, has given his perspective in a recent post on his blog (save Classics @ Leeds).
One minor correction, though: it is not quite true to say that "the University of Leeds is seeking to close its department of Classics": that is an option that it is considering. We're asking for your help in making the case that this option would be damaging - to the university, to the region, to the subject nationally and internationally, and to the people who will lose the opportunities that Elton and many others have had.
You may be interested to visit the site of Elton's HESTIA project, and to read the report in his paper 'Mapping an ancient historian in a digital age: the Herodotus Encoded Space-Text-Image Archive (HESTIA)'.
