Biography
Alexia Petsalis-Diomidis is Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of St Andrews. She researches classical material culture in the Greek world, and its reception in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The body and travel are major themes in her work. She searches out marginalised voices and explores intimate, small-scale encounters with objects. Her publications include Drawing the Greek Vase (co-editor C. Meyer, Oxford University Press,2023), The Classical Vase Transformed. Consumption, Reproduction, and Class in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Britain (with E. Hall, Oxford University Press, 2020), and Truly beyond Wonders. Aelius Aristides and the Cult of Asklepios (Oxford University Press, 2010).
