Professor Maggie Beeler is the Pitt Archaeology in Greece Faculty Director and the LHSLP Field School Director. A field archaeologist specializing in Greek prehistory, she has lived in Greece and worked on several excavations, including as trench supervisor and field school instructor for the program’s affiliated excavation, LHSLP, in 2016 and 2023. Professor Beeler has a PhD in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College and taught ancient Mediterranean history, art, and archaeology at various schools in Philadelphia before joining the Pitt Classics faculty in 2022. Her teaching focuses on global approaches to the ancient Mediterranean world that consider cross-cultural interactions with the Near East and Egypt and social differences, especially ancient concepts of race and ethnicity. She teaches a variety of course in ancient Mediterranean art and archaeology at Pitt and looks forward to introducing students to Greek archaeology beyond the classroom in Greece.
