Grounds for election

Jane Masséglia is Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Leicester. After a degree in Classics at Oxford, and five years’ teaching, she returned for postgraduate studies in Classical Archaeology, unique in her cohort for two Distinctions. Her thesis became ‘Body Language in Hellenistic Art & Society’ (OUP 2015), reviewed favourably in major journals. Subsequent postdoctoral posts included Prof. Cooley’s ‘Ashmolean Latin Inscriptions Project’ and Prof. Chaniotis’s ‘Emotions’ Project. She publishes widely on visual culture. Her paper in ‘Roman Phrygia’ (CUP 2013) was highlighted in the TLS, and her Fell Fund project ‘Roman Life in Old Bones’ (2015) was identified in the SAA Bulletin for its exciting results. She edited research on the Philae Obelisk (Kingston Lacy) and the use of Reflectance Transformation Imaging in reading its inscriptions. She is part of the LatinNow project (ERC) researching provincial Latinization, and responsible for a travelling exhibition to Europe.
