Lana Radloff (MA \u201911) has spent a decade tracing maritime networks in the ancient Mediterranean.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Jan. 26, the Brock grad\u2019s alma mater will be her port of call when she returns to the University to give a free public lecture on her research.<\/p>\n
Radloff\u2019s talk will explore the role of coastal settlements within the maritime network of ancient Greece and examine how the ancient Greeks used urban planning and environmental resources to preserve and control access to sea routes as their communities grew and evolved.<\/p>\n
Radloff, who has been a Sessional Lecturer in the Department of Classical Studies at Bishop\u2019s University since 2018, has been working on Greek maritime archaeology since doing her MA at Brock with Associate Professor Elizabeth S. Greene.<\/p>\n
In 2018, Radloff received her PhD at the State University of New York at Buffalo and went on to complete a postdoc at the Research Centre for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) at Ko\u00e7 University in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Department of Classics is thrilled that a graduate of our MA program will be returning to Brock as part of the Niagara Peninsula Society of the Archaeological Institute of America\u2019s lecture series,\u201d says Angus Smith, Associate Professor of Classics and Chair of the department. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of Lana and her accomplishments and look forward to hearing about her most recent research into ancient Greek maritime networks.\u201d
\nFor her part, Radloff is pleased to be returning to Brock.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe faculty in the Department of Classics played an influential and formative role in my academic development, introducing me to new and engaging research avenues that changed my outlook on the discipline,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m extremely grateful for their hard work and dedication to student development, which provided me with a solid foundation for my doctoral studies and academic career.\u201d<\/p>\n
