Biography

Lisa Anne Hughes is an Associate Professor in the Department of Classics and Religion at the University of Calgary. She holds a PhD in Art History from Indiana University, Bloomington, awarded in 2001. Her research focuses on Roman visual culture, particularly the visual representations of non-elite women during the late Republic and early Empire. Hughes has an extensive academic career, emphasizing the visual vocabulary of non-elite funerary monuments and exploring the intersection of gender with Roman art. She is currently leading a project titled 'The Art Performance Bay Naples (44 BCE-79 CE)', which investigates the role of small-scale theatrical performances in the gardens of ancient Roman houses through digital reconstructions. Her work aims to challenge traditional perceptions of audience and performer dynamics in these settings. Additionally, she has been involved in various collaborative research initiatives, including those related to theatrical performances in ancient Rome, through the development of interactive models using 3D technology.
