Kathryn Stevens is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow in Ancient History at Corpus Christi College. Her research focuses on Greek and Mesopotamian intellectual and cultural history, particularly during the Hellenistic period. She earned a BA in Classics with Oriental Studies (Akkadian) from Oxford and an MPhil/PhD from Cambridge. Her work bridges cross-cultural interactions, ancient imperialism, and the intersection of political and intellectual life in imperial systems.
Key educational milestones include postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Copenhagen and Trinity College, Cambridge, followed by a six-year tenure at Durham University. Her publications emphasize cross-cultural approaches to Hellenistic history, such as her monograph Between Greece and Babylonia (2019) and co-edited volume Keeping Watch in Babylon (2019).
Teaching spans undergraduate and graduate levels, covering ancient Greek history, historiography, and Hellenistic studies. She supervises doctoral researchers exploring cross-cultural dynamics and intellectual history in the Greek and Mesopotamian worlds. Her current projects include a new history of Greek-Near Eastern interactions across the first millennium BCE.
