    Friday, June 20, 2025 | By

    Congratulations to Cassidy Robertson, who was awarded the Board of Trustees Spirit of Brock medal in recognition of her leadership and dedication to showcasing student research and building community. Robertson received this award during Brock’s 115th Convocation, where she also graduated with a master’s degree in Classics in the Art and Archaeology stream.

    Anne McCourt, of Brock’s Board of Trustees, presents Colin Spencer and Cassidy Robertson each with the Spirit of Brock medal during Brock University’s 117th Convocation on Wednesday, June 11.

    According to the Brock News,

    “Robertson was drawn to Brock for graduate studies because of its unique history with underwater archaeology through the work of Professor of Classics and Archaeology Elizabeth Greene.

    Robertson was a key member of the student team organizing the second annual Humanities Graduate Student Symposium held in February 2024 and strengthened her leadership skills as Lead Co-ordinator for this year’s successful event.

    “I wanted to showcase the importance and significance of humanities research, motivated by my love for my field and interest in interdisciplinary collaboration,” she said.

    Robertson urged future graduate students to take every opportunity that comes their way.

    “Get involved; participating will help you market yourself in the future,” she said. “Focus on how your degree can help you grow skills and connections while building a great community.”

  • Mary White Prize honorable mention to Carter and Brundrett

    Sunday, June 01, 2025 | By

    Kudos to Michael Carter and Nadine Brundrett for receiving an honorable mention for the Mary White Prize for the best article in the journal Phoenix for 2023-2024. Their collaborative paper, “The Spectacles of Aulus Clodius Flaccus at Pompeii (CIL X 1074d),” discusses the complex spectacles offered by Aulus Clodius Flaccus, a leading magistrate of Pompeii during the Augustan period, as described in a now lost inscription (CIL X 1074). The paper explores the many deliberate connections made in these spectacles to the new Augustan regime in Rome and to the newly renovated Temple of Apollo in Pompeii.

    Coming soon to Vol. 78.3-4 (242-262) in Phoenix. Journal of the Classical Association of Canada.

  • Smith publishes Power and Place in the Prehistoric Aegean and Beyond

    Wednesday, May 28, 2025 | By

    Congratulations to Angus Smith for the publication of Power and Place in the Prehistoric Aegean and Beyond. Studies in Honor of James C. Wright (INSTAP 2025), co-edited with Susan E. Allen and Robert Schon.

    As the editors note, “This volume celebrates the contributions and impact of our mentor, colleague, and friend, James C. Wright, on the field of Aegean Bronze archaeology in recognition of his retirement from Bryn Mawr College. The title and thematic orientation reflect his scholarly attention to power inequalities in the past, particularly as manifested through social access to architectural spaces and landscapes. The title acknowledges that Jim’s interests and contributions extend beyond the domain of Aegean Prehistory, not only in terms of chronology and geography, but also in terms of his methodological approaches that have wider application. In addition to Jim’s colleagues and collaborators, more than half of the contributions to the volume are by his students who collectively are but one of many signs of his profound and lasting impact not only on our scholarship, but on the discipline of archaeology itself.”
