Judith Mossman is a Professor and Research Supervisor at the Research Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities. Her work focuses on ancient Greek and Roman literature, particularly Greek tragedy and classical texts under the Roman Empire, with a strong emphasis on Plutarch's writings, biography, and characterization.

Her research explores literary strategies, close reading methodologies, and historical evidence in works by figures like Cassius Dio, Cicero, and Suetonius. She has contributed chapters to major academic publications including The Afterlife of Plutarch and Characterization in Ancient Greek Literature.

Recent publications (2014-2018) reveal thematic trends in Plutarchan studies, Greco-Roman biographical traditions, and material culture analysis. Her activities include invited talks on classical reception, such as 'Lucian, On the Dance in context' (2019) and a 2023 public engagement event on critical curating.
