Biography

Sasha-Mae Eccleston is an Associate Professor at Brown University, specializing in Classics and Literary Arts. Her research primarily focuses on Ancient Greek and Roman Studies, exploring the relationship between material culture, identity, and politics, particularly in the context of sociopolitical changes. Literature serves as her main analytical tool, with her work extending to various forms of visual art and the built environment. Dr. Eccleston's interests encompass the cultures of the Roman Empire and archaic Greek-speaking communities, particularly in how these intersect with British imperialism and postcolonial contexts. She directs the Critical Classical Studies Postdoctoral/Post-MFA Fellowship Program and co-directs the Racing Classics Fellowship, which promotes scholarly discourse on race and antiquity. Her publications include analyses of citizenship and classicism in post-9/11 contexts, critiquing the notion of timelessness in classical claims.
