| The Department of Greek and Roman Studies is committed to the exploration, elaboration, and preservation of the cultures of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds as the foundation of its doctoral program. The goal of the program is to prepare classicists who will produce new contributions to our discipline and who will be able to bring knowledge of the cultures of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds into a productive dialogue with contemporary issues and concerns. Our students will provide evidence of critical engagement with relevant scholarship, demonstrate proficiency in ancient Greek and Latin and two modern languages other than English, and complete a doctoral dissertation that constitutes an original contribution to the field. Our students will be provided with opportunities to learn the most effective teaching methods and will also begin to establish themselves as professionals by delivering papers at conferences and through travel as necessary for their research. In addition to the traditional classical sub-disciplines of Classical Archaeology, Ancient History and Classical Languages and Literature, the Department offers four core thematic research areas: 1) Interconnectivity in the Ancient Mediterranean; 2) Technology in the Ancient World; 3) Social and Economic History; and 4) Gender and Identity Studies. |
