Hartnett Presents at Meetings and Conferences

Assistant Professor of Classics Jeremy Hartnett ’96 organized the recent three-day workshop at (and sponsored by) the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash entitled "Teaching Pompeii in a Liberal Arts Setting: Contexts, Interdisciplinarity, and Collaboration.” In January he presented "Street Theater in Five Acts: Pompeian Performances of Subcultural Identities" at the annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America in Anaheim, CA. His article, "Fountains at Herculaneum: Sacred History, Topography, and Civic Identity" appeared in Rivista di Studi Pompeiani. Professor Hartnett served as an Annual Lecturer for the Archaeological Institute of America and gave two public lectures in September: "Excavation Photographs and the Rediscovery of the Via dell'Abbondanza at Pompeii" at the Princeton AIA chapter, and "Tales from the Roman Street" at the Northern New Jersey AIA chapter. In March, he is presenting, together with Rebecca Benefiel of Washington and Lee University, "The Aesthetics of Pompeian Electoral Inscriptions: Questions and Hypotheses," at the annual meeting of the Classical Association of the Midwest and South in Oklahoma City, OK.
