Deirdre Klokow joined the Department of Classics at The University of Texas at Austin in 2023. She received her BA in Classics from Columbia University, New York, and her PhD in Classics from the University of Southern California in 2023. Her research primarily focuses on the Hellenistic period (c. 323-30 BC) and the Seleucid Empire, a vast multi-cultural power that spanned modern Turkey to the southern Levant and east to Afghanistan. By integrating methods from landscape archaeology, numismatics, and epigraphy, as well as digital mapping, Deirdre's work centers on the intersection of the physical environment and the social and economic structures of the ancient world. Additionally, she investigates the social positions and economic agency of women during the Hellenistic period. Currently, Deirdre is studying early Seleucid coinage and its implications for the economic contributions of the Seleucid queen Laodice III.
