A.G. Leventis Fellow in Greek Studies
Dr Naomi Scott
The A. G. Leventis Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ancient Greek Studies, tenable for three years, is awarded for the pursuit of an advanced research project in ancient Greek studies leading to publication. The project may relate to any area of ancient Greek studies, including reception.
Dr Naomi Scott studied at Cambridge (BA) and UCL (MA, PhD), and since 2017 has been a lecturer in the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Nottingham. Her first book, ‘Jokes in Greek Comedy: From Puns to Poetics’ was published by Bloomsbury in September 2023, and she has also published widely on topics including the fragments of Old Comedy, staging and theatre technology, and theories of metaphor. As the A.G. Leventis Fellow, she will be pursuing a new project, entitled ‘The Aesthetics of Fragmentation in Ancient Encyclopaedias’. Focusing primarily on the Onomasticon by Julius Pollux, this project aims to uncover the aesthetic and epistemological forces which have shaped the fragmentary corpus from antiquity onwards, and influence in turn our own modern picture of the classical world.
Dr Scott says, ‘I’m really excited to be joining the IGRCT at Bristol, not only to work on my new research project, but also to contribute to the Institute’s programme of Outreach activities.’
