Short Description: In her work on Greek and Near Eastern contact, Professor López-Ruiz explores the common ground between Greek and Semitic cultures, especially the Phoenicians, to offer a more integrated view of the classical world.
Long after “orientalism” was identified as a problem in the representation of the Near East, the field of Classics still adheres to Greek and European exceptionalism, which results in an siloed view of ancient Mediterranean cultures. In her work on Greek and Near Eastern contact, Professor López-Ruiz explores the common ground between Greek and Semitic cultures, especially the Phoenicians, to offer a more integrated view of the classical world.

Each year, the Arts and Humanities celebrate faculty who have recently been promoted to the rank of professor by asking each to present a public lecture on his or her body of research or creative activity and current projects. All lectures are held at the Faculty Club, ABCD Rooms (2nd floor). Wednesday lectures are from 5-6:30 p.m., and Friday lectures are from 2-3:30 p.m. A short, 10-minute reception will precede each lecture. All are free and open to the public.
