AN INTERDISCIPLINARY AND INTERDEPARTMENTAL PROGRAM AT COLUMBIA

Robert “Chris” Miller

Chris graduated from the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College at the University of Mississippi in 2013 with a BA in Classics and History. His senior honors thesis was entitled “A Pseudo-Panathenaic Amphora by the Nikoxenos Painter.” Currently, he is a second year PhD student in Columbia’s Classical Studies Program. His interests lie primarily in gender and sexuality, Greek art of the Classical and Hellenistic Periods, and the negotiation of identity in the eastern Mediterranean. Chris’s MA thesis deals with how the relationships of women of the Herodian dynasty with powerful Romans allowed them a nearly unprecedented degree of political agency. Email Chris Miller.
