Ancient History at Stanford
We suggest that ancient history is not a distinct discipline: it is an area of research that can contribute to many different disciplines, from literary criticism to economics. Ancient history at Stanford is based in the Classics department, but the ancient historians play leading roles in the Social Science History Institute and Archaeology Center. They collaborate also regularly with colleagues in the departments of Anthropological Sciences, Cultural and Social Anthropology, Economics, History, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology, the Schools of Earth Sciences and Law, and the Hoover Institution.
A broad range of research and teaching goes on at Stanford, but we are particularly strong in ancient economic and social history and social science methods.
