Dr Samuel Gartland

Profile

I studied at Oxford and then Leeds, where I received my PhD in 2013. I then taught Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Oxford between 2013–2019, when I returned to Leeds as Lecturer in Ancient Greek History and Culture. I have won many awards at Oxford and Leeds for my teaching, and always enjoy seeing how students find new ways of responding to the ancient world.

As Senior Admissions Tutor for the School of Languages, Cultures, and Socieites, I am always very keen to hear from anyone interested in studying with us at Leeds, in the ancient world or in any of more recent areas we specialise in. Don’t hesitate to get in touch via email.

 

Responsibilities

• Senior Admissions Tutor for the School of Languages, Cultures, and Societies

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.

• Subordinates and Subordination in Ancient Greece (with Professor David Tandy)
• The Peloponnesian War (with Professor Robin Osborne)
• Aristophanes and the Current Political Moment (with Professor Constanze Guthenke)
• Epichoric Perspectives in Greek History (with Dr Roger Brock)
