Fellowship and Two New Books from Prof. Sarah Murray

December 11, 2023 by Department of Classics

On December 13, Cambridge University Press releases a new book authored by Professor Sarah Murray. Long-Distance Exchange and Inter-Regional Economies focuses on primarily economic interactions between Aegean peoples and the the wider Mediterranean and European world in the Bronze Age and early Iron Age. It will be available for purchase through the Cambridge University Press website.

Violence and Inequality: An Archaeological History is set to be published in February. The volume, co-edited by Professor Murray and Thomas P. Leppard, who received his Ph.D. in Archaeology from the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University in 2013, and previously held fellowships at the Aarhus Institute for Advanced Studies and the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, will be published and made available for purchase through the University Press of Colorado.

Professor Murray was also recently appointed as a Faculty Research Fellow in the Humanities at the Jackman Humanities Institute for 2024-2025. Throughout her fellowship, she will work on a project titled "Descending through Hephaistos’ Sooty Realm: Metallurgy, Pyrotechnology, and Death Ritual in Early Greece." Read more about the Fellowship and Professor Murray's project in the JHI's announcement.

Congratulations, Sarah!
