Biography
Osman Umurhan is Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of New Mexico, USA.

Above all, the command of theory on display sets Umurhan apart; he is able to trace the historiography of different theoretical concepts with rare clarity. He offers a model for the considered and productive application of postcolonial concepts from which all those interested in Roman Imperial literature could benefit." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
