Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Greek & Roman Studies

Program Overview

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.

Interconnectivity in the Ancient Mediterranean focuses on the interplay of cultures around the Mediterranean that helped to create the different phases of ancient Greek and Roman culture. Ancient Greece and Rome were influenced by contact with the various other cultures in Asia Minor such as the Phrygians, Lydians, Lycians, Hittites, and Akkadians among others; in Egypt; around the Black Sea; and in Israel, Spain, and northern Africa.

Technology in the Ancient World is a theme that integrates archaeologists and historians in research concerning the development of technological innovations in the ancient world. This theme is currently a topic of high interest in the discipline.

Social and Economic History also unites our Greek and Roman archaeologists and historians. The social and economic history of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds is a crucial element in understanding politics, laws, and trade in ancient Greece and Rome, and as such can provide us with important tools for examining our own similar structures.

Gender and Identity Studies in Ancient Greece and Rome reflects the interests primarily of our literary scholars, all of whom focus on the construction of identity, whether in terms of gender or cultural appropriation. Our department houses two of the very few classical scholars in Canada who work specifically on sex and gender, a topic of considerable current interest. We also have expertise concerning cultural appropriation in both literary and material forms.
