PhD Student receives Fulbright to examine Caryatids and Women’s Labor in Greece

 As a Fulbright grantee to Greece, Ella Gonzalez will be based in Athens for the 2023-2024 academic year. She will conduct research for her dissertation, provisionally titled “Bearing Weight: Caryatids and Women’s Labor in Ancient Greece.” Her dissertation looks at caryatids, or female architectural supports, on bronze mirror handles (7th-5th centuries BCE) and architecture (6th-1st centuries BCE) in ancient Greece from a feminist lens.
