Dee L. Clayman

Dee L. Clayman is an American classical scholar and a professor of Classics at the City University of New York.[1] She is a pioneer in the effort to digitize the humanities[2] and served as president of the Society for Classical Studies.[3]

Education

Clayman earned a bachelor’s degree in Greek with honors from Wellesley College. She holds a MA in Latin and Greek as well as a Ph.D in Classical Studies, from the University of Pennsylvania.[4][5]

Career

Clayman began her career in 1972 as an assistant professor at Brooklyn College, ultimately rising to the position of Professor of Classics in 1982.[6] Beginning in 1985, Clayman also served as Professor of Classics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York where she is Executive Officer of the PhD Program in Classics.[1]

Her areas of academic research interest include the Hellenistic period, with specific emphasis on the work of Callimachus, Theocritus, Apollonius of Rhodes and the epigrammatists.[1]

An early adopter of using digital technology to explore the classics, Clayman is the recipient of 10 individual grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities[7] and various private foundations to support the development of an online database of classical bibliography.[8][9] This effort, which attempts to catalog scholarly work about ancient Greek and Latin language, linguistics and history as well as Roman history, literature, and philosophy from the second millennium B.C. to roughly 500-800 A.D.,[10] has significantly expanded global access to a wide variety of research materials.[2] The project was initially published in 1995 as a set of CD-ROMs[11] and is now incorporated with the Année philologique.[12]

In addition to her academic work, Clayman was the founding editor-in-chief of Oxford Bibliographies: Classics.[13] She previously served as president of the Société internationale de bibliographie classique,[14] and is past-president of the American Philological Association, now known as the Society for Classical Studies.[3]
