Recent Doctoral Citations
- Dr. Emily Varto: "Dr. Varto researched ideas of kinship in the burials, housing, and genealogical writing of early Greece. She found that kinship involved ideas of biology, multi-generational households, and descent. This research illuminates kinship's role in social, political, and economic differentiation, power, and change in the developing Greek city-state." (May 2010)
- Dr. Christine Sharon Lane: "Dr. Lane examined the cults of founders in the ancient Greek colonies of Italy. Her work reveals that the god Apollo was a symbolic founding-figure, while later re-founders of these cities, especially the tyrants, received cults for political purposes. Her work increases our understanding of ancient Greek colonial religion." (November 2009)
- Dr. Tracy Deline: "Dr. Deline investigated the political and legal roles of women in criminal trials in the Julio-Claudian era of the Roman Empire. She concluded that women were politically threatening and legally active in ways that show they were much more than merely extensions of their husbands and brothers." (November 2009)
- Dr. Shelley Annette Reid: "Dr. Reid researched the role that Roman medicine played in the life and thought of Saint Augustine of Hippo. She showed that Augustine made extensive, even unique, uses of metaphors taken from contemporary medicine. Her research also suggests that Augustine's personal medical experiences contributed to his writing of the "Confessions"." (November 2008)
