A.M. Genova is an intellectual historian of the early and modern Mediterranean Basin, with particular expertise in the socio-political history of the archaeological institutions and practices in Crete of the late 19th-early 20th centuries. Her work is based on comparative archival research on the development of Cretan and Macedonian archaeology during times of war and political dissent (prior to their unification with Greece in 1913). Trained as an anthropologist and ancient historian, she holds an M.A. in Anthropology from Northern Illinois University, and both an M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of Chicago. In addition to her past tenure as the M. Alison Frantz Fellow at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, she has excavation experience in the Peloponnese and in Salemi, Sicily. As part of her postdoctoral engagements, her research has been supported as a Library Research Fellow at Princeton University (Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies), California State University, Sacramento (Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection), and most recently as a Fellow at Harvard University’s Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) in Washington, DC.
