Betsey A. Robinson Betsey A. Robinson (Harvard University, A.B., A.L.M.; University of Pennsylvania, Ph.D.) teaches courses in the art, architecture, and archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world. Her primary interests include Greek and Roman architecture, ancient cities and sanctuaries, and landscapes--actual, imagined, and as represented in ancient art and literature. She has recently completed a monograph on the Fountain of Peirene at Corinth, Greece (/Histories of Peirene: A Corinthian Fountain in Three Millennia/, in press with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens). Current research projects address Hellenistic and Roman activity and patronage in Greek sanctuaries and sacred games, the stratigraphy and history of the so-called "Sacred Spring" complex at Corinth, and the history of archaeological excavation in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Her career began with deep-sea exploration in the Mediterranean and research in paleontology and history of science; more recently, she has excavated ancient through modern contexts in Greece, Israel, and Italy. Professor Robinson has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Loeb Classical Library Foundation at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. She was a Junior Fellow in Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks, Washington, D.C. (1999-2000), and Broneer Fellow at the American Academy in Rome (2001-02). |
