Dr Arlene Holmes-Henderson, Senior Research Fellow at Christ Church, has been made an MBE by King Charles III for Services to Education. The honour, awarded in the King’s 2023 Birthday Honours, recognises Dr Holmes-Henderson’s work to make Classics more widely available in schools and helping young people develop their communication skills. Arlene moved to Durham University in 2022 but is finishing one research trial based in Oxford so remains a member of our Faculty.
Arlene said it was an honour to receive an MBE for her work, adding:
“I collaborate with inspiring colleagues in academia, schools, charities and museums. This award is a reflection of our collective achievements. I enjoy using my experience, knowledge and skills to make a positive difference.”
