Archaeology's Rachel Starry Successfully Defends Dissertation on Roman Lycia

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is pleased to congratulate Rachel Starry of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology for the successful defense of her doctoral dissertation on April 13.

Rachel's dissertation, "Finding the Local within the Global: A Comparative Study of Public Architecture and Urban Development in Roman-period Lycia" is a comparative study of urbanization and its relationship to civic benefaction during the Roman Imperial Period in western Lycia, a small province in southwestern Anatolia (modern Turkey). Her work engages with globalization theory to explore the architecture and urban spaces of Lycia, emphasizing the interaction of wider trends in Imperial Rome with local communities in Lycia. Rachel argues that in reformulating our understanding of provincial-imperial interaction as a form of local-global exchange, mediated by regional inter-urban relationships, we can achieve a richer and more nuanced picture of urbanism in the decades and centuries following Lycia's annexation into the Roman Empire.

Congratulations Rachel!
