Faculty of Classics - University of Cambridge

RAE 2008

The Faculty of Classics has emerged from the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise with the strongest research profile of any Classics department in the UK, and with a rating in the top 4* category (world-leading research) of 45%. As well as the publications and other contributions to research made by its cohort of permanent staff in University and College posts, evidence of the esteem in which these are held, and an account of our research environment, the Faculty submitted the work of post-doctoral research fellows, temporary lecturers and a good number of retired colleagues who are active members of our research community. Entries ranged from articles short, long, and middling to monographs, collaborative collections of various sorts, commentaries and editions of Classical texts (often weighty in more senses than one), a series of television programmes networked by BBC1, and our one internet publication: an extensive database of Greek and Latin inscriptions from Aphrodisias prepared by Joyce Reynolds, whose 90th birthday coincided with the publication of the RAE results.
