The Classics Department is delighted to welcome Catherine Steidl as our 2020-21 Scholar in Residence at theÌýBruce D. Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization!

Catherine received her B.A. from Wesleyan ³Ô¹ÏÍø and her Ph.D. from Brown ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, and has previously held appointments at Dartmouth College and Koç ³Ô¹ÏÍø in Istanbul. Her research focuses on the dynamics of community formation and identity in the Mediterranean, in particular Anatolian Ionia in the Iron Age. She’s currently working on a monograph about community interaction and the development of a Hellenic identity in the 1^stÌýmillennium BC on a pan-Mediterranean scale, from the Iberian peninsula to the Black Sea. She’ll be teaching a course on the archaeology of Greek Cities and Sanctuaries in the fall and another on ‘Mediterranean Migrations’ in the spring.
