Classics Grad Students Travel Abroad to Present Papers

Traveling to attend conferences and seminars is an important part of the graduate student experience at Brown.  Being chosen to present at a conference can be an even more rewarding experience for their academic careers and growth as professionals.  That’s why the department is pleased to help support our PhD students whenever they get the opportunity to present papers outside of Brown.

Classics Department & JIAAW Welcome Professor Candace Rice

This Fall, Professor Candace Rice joins Brown University as Assistant Professor of Archaeology and Classics.

She then moved to the UK where she earned an M.Phil. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Oxford in 2008, and a D.Phil. in Archaeology from Oxford in 2012 (with a thesis entitled, Port Economies and Maritime Trade in the Roman Mediterranean, 166 BC to AD 300).
