The Outreach Awards Committee is delighted to award the 2025 Forum Prize to Alexandra S. Henning, host of the Ancient Office Hours podcast. Lexie Henning's engaging work on on the production, direction, and dissemination of the podcast has resulted in over 50,000 downloads, and has brought current research in the study of the ancient Mediterranean to a broader audience. The Committee was particularly impressed by Lexie's amplification of the work of scholars in the field and continual commitment to an international listening public.
The SCS Forum Prize recognizes outstanding contributions to public engagement made by works about the ancient Greek and Roman world that have originated outside of the academy. To learn more about the prize and to see a list of previous recipients, visit the Forum Prize page.
