Graham Oliver
Graham Oliver undertook both his undergraduate studies in Classics (BA Literae Humaniores, 1989) and his doctoral studies (D. Phil Ancient History, 1995) at Oxford University. He moved to The University of Liverpool in 1994 where he taught until 2013 before coming to Brown as Professor of Classics. He was Chair of the Classics Department from 2018-2023.
He teaches courses in Greek history and literature at undergraduate and graduate level and has directed and taught international graduate programs in epigraphy at Oxford University and the British School at Athens.
He advises graduate students on a range of topics; current students are writing doctoral dissertations on Archaic and Early Classical cenotaphs and the Greek city-state, Land and peasants in early Hellenstic Seleucid Asia Minor, and Biopolitics in Classical Greek political thought and welcomes applications for Greek historical topics within the Ph.D. in Classics program at Brown.
As a first generation student, Graham Oliver is senstive to challenges for students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He has been an Exploratory Advisor for undergraduates at Brown for several years, is a member of TEAM (Brown's advising group), and is Director of Graduate Studies of the Ancient History Program (the program now no longer admits students and Ancient History applications are welcome within the Ph.D. in Classics program).
Graham Oliver research is primarily in ancient history. He studies Greek history, in particular epigraphy (the study of inscriptions), Classical and Hellenistic history, and the ancient economy and society of ancient Greece from the Archaic to Roman eras. His interests also extend to the reception of ancient Greek culture: Oliver works on ancient Greece in the long 18th-century, and has published on the relationship between ancient Greece and the commemoration of the war dead in the early 20th century. He has worked more recently on Hellenistic history in popular culture and has presented a paper on manga and Eumenes at an international conference.
