Felipe Soza

Assistant Professor of Classics

Classics Department

I am a historian of antiquity, with a particular interest in the ancient Greek world and the eastern Mediterranean, as well as the history of historiography. I research imperialism and autocratic forms of power and their institutional, social and cultural expressions of domination. I also work on the long history of the classical tradition in Latin America. My current book project, From Empire to Kingdom: The Antigonid Imperial Project in the Hellenistic Age, studies one of the main imperial dynasties that emerged out of the collapse of Alexander the Great's transcontinental empire. Originally from Chile, I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University. I am a big fan of soccer (fútbol!), basketball, tennis, squash, and sports generally; and I am always available for pick up games.
