Dr Samuel Gartland

Profile

I received my PhD from Leeds in 2013, and then taught Classics at Oxford until I returned to Leeds in the summer of 2019. 

Responsibilities

• Programme Manager MRes in Classics

Research interests

I currently oversee four research projects, all of which are involved with finding new approaches to the study of ancient history, with particular interests in experiences of marginalisation and subordination, as well as a focus on the role that space and senses had in affecting behaviour in ancient Greece. Much of my work has been based in Central Greece, with Boiotia and Thebes providing much of the interest.

The Peloponnesian War (with Prof Robin Osborne)
