CURRICULUM VITAE
Joanne
Spurza
Joanne Spurza is a Classical
archaeologist specializing in Roman architecture and ancient urbanism. She
studied at Bryn Mawr College (A.B., M.A.) and Princeton
University (M.A., Ph.D.) and is a
Fellow of the American Academy in Rome.
At Hunter, she teaches courses in Roman, Egyptian and Greek archaeology, in
Roman civilization, Classical mythology, and upper-level seminars on
aspects of Roman society and culture. She has participated in excavations
and fieldwork in Sicily (Morgantina), Cyprus
(Marion), Ostia Antica and Rome
(Roman Forum, House of the Vestals).
Her principal field research is centered at Ostia, where
she has worked for fifteen years in collaboration with the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Ostia. She currently is
completing a monograph based on her long-term study of a major building
complex there. The Palazzo Imperiale at Ostia: An Urban Reconstruction examines the
well-preserved port city of imperial Rome
during the Severan period in the 3rd century A.D.
Her upcoming project is to open a new excavation at the Palazzo site within
the next two years.
