ABOUT JOAN'S WORK
Joan Breton Connelly is an art historian and an archaeologist who has advanced a new interpretation of the Parthenon Frieze based on her study of Athenian myth, cult, and drama.
She has spent over two decades the field, pursuing her interests in the Hellenistic East and excavating at sites throughout Greece, Cyprus, and Kuwait. Since 1990, she has served as Director at the Yeronisos Island Expedition and Field School off the coast of western Cyprus, which integrates ecological and archaeological fieldwork toward the common goal of preserving natural and cultural resources. Her excavations of artifacts and unique architectural remains suggest that Yeronisos preserves one of the most significant Ptolemaic sites outside of Egypt.
BIOGRAPHY
She is the author of Votive Sculpture of Hellenistic Cyprus (1988), and several influential articles, including “Parthenon and Parthenoi: A Mythological Interpretation of the Parthenon Freize”(American Journal of Archaeology, 1996). Connelly is an associate professor of fine arts at New York University. She was a visiting fellow at All Souls College, University of Oxford, and is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Geographical Society, the Explorers Club, and the Society of Women Geographers.
Connelly received an A.B. (1976) from Princeton University, and an M.A. (1979) and a Ph.D. (1984) from Bryn Mawr College.
