Justin Walsh teaches Greek and Roman art and archaeology. Justin has worked on excavations in the US, Spain, Jordan, and Italy. He has worked at the site of Morgantina, in east-central Sicily, since 1999. His current research concerns imported pottery found there, and the implications of that material for a new, consumer-oriented perspective on the ancient economy. The final results will be published in Morgantina Studies, to be co-authored with Professors Carla Antonaccio (Duke University) and Jenifer Neils (Case Western Reserve University). Other forthcoming work includes articles on architectural sculpture from Thasos and on an assemblage of lamps from Metaponto in southern Italy.
Professor Walsh holds a Ph.D. in the History of Art from the University of Virginia, an M.A. in Ancient and Medieval Art and Archaeology from the University of Minnesota, and a B.A. in Classical Studies from Vanderbilt University. He was a recipient of a Fulbright Grant to Greece and Regular Member of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 2002-2003, and a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome in 2003-2004. |
