Giovanna Ceserani

Internal Faculty Fellow
Department of Classics, Stanford University

Giovanna Ceserani is an Associate Professor of Classics at Stanford University. She works on the classical tradition with an emphasis on the intellectual history of classical scholarship, historiography and archaeology from the eighteenth century onwards. She is interested in the role that Hellenism and Classics played in the shaping of modernity and, in turn, in how the questions we ask of the classical past originate in specific modern cultural, social, and political contexts.

Giovanna is also the Director of the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA).
