REF 2029 Panel Update
by katieboulton
CUCD is delighted to see that the first round of appointments of REF panellists has been announced, including for SP29 (Classics). It’s a great panel, and we offer our congratulations to the following colleagues who have been appointed:
- Anne Alwis (Kent)
- Bruce Gibson (Liverpool)
- James Clackson (Cambridge)
- Katharine Earnshaw (Exeter)
- Rebecca Sweetman (St Andrews)
- Alison Cooley (Warwick)
- Peter Liddel (Manchester)
- William Allan (Oxford)
In addition, we congratulate Joanna Phillips (Leeds) on her appointment as panel secretary. This follows the earlier welcome news that the panel will be steered by Katherine Harloe (Chair) and Catherine Steel (Deputy Chair).
A reminder to colleagues across the UK that the REF process has two stages: the criteria-setting phase and the assessment phase. The appointments announced today represent only part of the full sub-panel that will carry out the final assessment.
The second phase of recruitment is expected in 2027, once universities have provided more detailed information about their submission intentions within each Unit of Assessment. This phase aims to ensure a broad range of disciplinary expertise across the sub-panel.
We strongly encourage colleagues from all areas of Classics to consider applying in this next round. CUCD will share further information as soon as it becomes available.
Kathryn Tempest (Chair)
James Corke-Webster (Secretary)
