Adam Rabinowitz

I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Classics. My research focuses on the archaeology of Greek colonization, culture-contact, and ancient food and drink, and I have an active field project at the ancient site of Histria in Romania, near the Danube delta. In my teaching, I try to find ways to engage students with primary sources and involve them in research inside and outside the classroom as part of the learning process. I am particularly interested in digital tools and platforms that allow students in the Humanities to carry out public-facing research projects. My PTF project included the customization of the FromThePage transcription platform for use with UT archives, especially in connection with undergraduate courses (https://fromthepage.lib.utexas.edu). I am also one of the founding members of the Planet Texas 2050 Grand Challenge, a transdisciplinary research project that seeks to make Texas more resilient in the face of climate change and demographic challenges (https://bridgingbarriers.utexas.edu/planet-texas-2050/).
