About
I studied History and Classics in Muenster, Rome, Berlin, Jena, and London, and received my Ph.D. (Ancient History) from Friedrich-Schiller University Jena in 2005. I completed my Habilitation (Ancient History) at Freie Universitaet Berlin in November 2010 where I am teaching now as Privatdozentin of Ancient History. After finishing my PhD in 2005, I was for the next 5 years a visiting research scholar at several institutions in the United States, Columbia University in New York, the University of California at Berkeley, the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, of which I was a member in 2010. Since then, I won a 2-year research fellowship at the Max-Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock and a 5-year Heisenberg grant of the German Research Foundation. I will spent the next two years as a visiting researcher at the College de France in Paris and have just been elected Member at its Centre d'Histoire et Civilisation de Byzance.
My main research interests are the history of late antiquity, the history of the family in the Mediterranean from ancient to early modern times, Greek and Roman social history, esp. Egyptian social and economic history, archaic Rome and Italy, the history of intergenerational relations, Greek epigraphy and papyrology.
