Edward (Ted) Kelting

Assistant Professor of Mediterranean Studies

Edward (Ted) Kelting received his Ph.D. in Classics from Stanford University in 2019 and his A.B. in Egyptology and Classics from Brown University in 2012. His research ranges across Egypt, Greece, and Rome in the early imperial period. He is the author of Egyptian Things: Translating Egypt to Early Imperial Rome. Its titular “Egyptian Things” was an auto-ethnographic literary tradition called Aegyptiaca, in which culturally mixed Egyptians wrote about Egypt and its past for a Greek and Roman audience. Another strand of his research focuses on slavery and non-human animal subjectivity in metamorphosis and fable.
