Dr. Lindsey Mazurek

Lindsey Mazurek is an Associate Professor of Classics at Indiana University Bloomington. Her research explores questions of ethnicity, religion, landscape, and change in the Roman provinces, particularly how the inhabitants of Rome’s provinces reconfigured their own ideas of themselves and their world in response to Roman rule. Her first book, Isis in a Global Empire: Greek Identity Through Egyptian Religion in Roman Greece (Cambridge University Press 2022, winner of the 2023 First Book Award from CAMWS) looks at the worship of Egyptian deities like Isis, Sarapis, and Anubis in Greece during the Roman period and examines how local devotees reconfigured traditional ideas about Greekness in response to their religious practices. Some of her research from this project appeared in the American Journal of Archaeology and Hesperia. She has also written on Hellenistic seascapes and migrations, particularly at Delos and in the province of Macedonia, and is currently co-editing a new volume on mobility in antiquity for Routledge. Her second book project examines portraiture, object agency, and provincial experience in Roman Greece.
