http://www2.le.ac.uk/institution/womenatleicester/international-womens-day/gallery/professor-lin-foxhall) men tillträder i höst en tjänst vid University of Liverpool.
Hennes forskningsintressen spänner över genusfrågor, antikt jordbruk och antik ekonomi.
Bland hennes många publikationer märks Olive cultivation in ancient Greece: seeking the ancient economy (Oxford 2010), Justifications not justice: the political context of law in ancient Greece (Oxford 1996), Thinking men: masculinity and its self-representation in the Classical tradition (London 1998), When men were men: masculinity, power and identity in Classical antiquity (London 1998) och senast Studying gender in Classical antiquity (Key themes in ancient history), Cambridge 2013.
För närvarande leder hon projektet Tracing networks: craft traditions in the ancient Mediterraean and beyond (http://www.tracingnetworks.org/content/web/introduction.jsp) som undersöker olika typer av föremål och produktion, från hushållskeramik och mynt till väggmålningar och vävtyngder för att utröna kopplingarna mellan människor som tillverkare och brukare men också som personer som lärde ut tillverkningsmetoder. Hon är här speciellt intresserad av textilproduktion, något som hennes seminarium i Uppsala den 9 september kommer att utveckla närmare.
Lin Foxhall har deltagit i och lett ett antal fältarkeologiska projekt i Medelhavsområdet, bl.a. The Methana Survey Project. För närvarande är hon en av ledarna för Bova Marina Archaeological Project som undersöker södra Kalabriens förhistoria och historia (http://www.arch.cam.ac.uk/research/projects/bova-marina/). Hon ingick också i forskningsgruppen som undersökte och återbegravde Richard III:s kvarlevor i Leister 2014 (The bones of a king : Richard III rediscovered, The Greyfriars Research Team with Maev Kennedy and Lin Foxhall, Chicester 2015).

Ons 7 okt 13-15 Engelska Parken Campus 2-2050. Öppen föreläsning. Michael Kerschner, Österrikes arkeologiska institut i Wien: "The The Artemision of Ephesos in the Geometric and Archaic periods: When and how did the sanctuary gain supra-regional importance?" http://www.oeai.at/index.php/vorhellenistisches-ephesos.html#Artemision
The Artemision of Ephesos had become one of the most important sanctuaries of the Greek world by the Hellenistic period, when the huge temple of the goddess was counted among the “Seven Wonders of the World”. Achieving this position, however, was a long process which will be analysed in the present lecture.
The beginnings of the cult can be traced back to the Early Iron Age, when the sanctuary was a small sacred precinct without any architecture. The main aspect of ritual was common consumption of food and drink. Votives were rare and modest, and this did not change much in the Late Geometric period, in contrast to the Heraeum on the neighbouring island of Samos.
In the course of the 7th century BC, however, the Ephesian Artemision saw a fulminant advancement. In the second quarter of the 7th century a first stone temple was built, one of the earliest in the Aegean with peripteral ground plan. The wealth of the votives increased considerably from the mid-seventh century onwards, and there are clear indications that this rise is related to the investment of the Mermnad kings from neighbouring Lydia. Croesus, the last member of this dynasty, donated considerably to the first marble dipteros, the splendour and size of which established the fame of the sanctuary.

Christopher Tilley has a PhD in Archaeology and Anthropology from the University of Cambridge and is Professor of Anthropology & Archaeology at UCL. He is a member of the Material Culture staff and teaches courses on material culture in social theory, social identity and visual culture. He has written a number of books on archaeological theory exploring the relations between hermeneutic, structuralist and post-structuralist perspectives and material culture and is renowned for his works on phenomenology and landscapes. His research falls into two main areas (i) the exploration of different theoretical perspectives in relation to the study of material culture and (ii) the relationship of these perspectives to the study of substantive archaeological and ethnographic data sets. He is one of the editors for the Handbook of Material Culture and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Material Culture, which explores the relationship between artefacts and social relations and draws on a range of disciplines including anthropology, archaeology, design studies, history, human geography and museology.
