Our heartiest congratulations to Professor Jessica Lamont, who has been awarded tenure at Yale University!

Professor Lamont earned her PhD at Hopkins in 2016, working with Professor Alan Shapiro as her advisor, and was immediately appointed to an assistant professorship in the Dept of Classics at Yale. She is an expert on Greek religion, medicine and magic, working largely with inscriptional evidence. In addition to numerous articles, she is author of  a monograph on ritualized curse practices, In Blood and Ashes: Curse Tablets and Binding Spells in Ancient Greece (Oxford University Press, 2023) and she is currently working on a second book, Health and Healing in Ancient Greece, which explores the  breadth of healthcare options available to ancient Greek individuals and communities between c.500–250 BCE, including surgeons, physicians, midwives, pharmaceutical “root-cutters,” divine healers, healing-sanctuaries and temple-medicine.
