Faculty
The faculty housed in the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World reflect its wide geographical scope and breadth of interests. Faculty members are cross-appointed to the Institute, and our partner departments at present include Classics, History of Art and Architecture, and Judaic Studies. Faculty research and publication covers a correspondingly broad spectrum of topics. Our expertise ranges from Greek and Roman art and architecture to landscape archaeology, from urban and religious architecture of the Levant to Roman provincial studies (of both western and eastern provinces), and from the Aegean Bronze Age to the archaeology of the Caucasus. Visiting teaching appointments — in Near Eastern Archaeology and Art and in Islamic Archaeology and Art — and a post-doctoral research appointment (in Greek Archaeology and Art and in Archaeology and Media Studies) have been made for the academic year 2006-2007. Several new permanent appointments are on the near horizon.
The wider community of the Joukowsky Institute includes faculty in related departments — notably Egyptology and Ancient Western Asia, Anthropology, Religious Studies, History, and Geology, as well as Classics, History of Art and Architecture, and Judaic Studies — who are frequent participants in Institute events and activities.
The Joukowsky Institute has a very active fieldwork profile, with faculty-led excavations and regional surveys presently working at Tongobriga in Portugal, at Apollonia-Arsuf in Israel, at the Great Temple in Petra, Jordan, and in southern Armenia (the Vorotan Project). Brown graduate students and undergraduates are welcome to apply to participate in these endeavors. An active program of scholarly publication for the Institute is planned, consolidating and extending a tradition established by the Center for Old World Archaeology and Art.
