Work Done with Funding from Memoria Romana

MR funded my dissertation research. I defended my dissertation, “The Triumphal Route in Republican and Imperial Rome: Architecture, Experience, and Memory”, at the Institute of Fine Arts–NYU spring 2012 and received my Ph.D. from NYU in May 2012. This academic year, I am revising my dissertation into a book manuscript. I plan to submit a book proposal to Cambridge Univ. Press by the end of this spring semester.
