Professor Lisa Irene Hau is a faculty member at the University of Glasgow in the Department of Classics within the College of Arts. She holds the academic rank of Professor and serves as Postgraduate Convener for Classics, overseeing the MSc in Classics and MSc in Ancient Cultures programs. Her research focuses on ancient historiography, particularly Greek and Roman narrative techniques, moral-didactic literature, and fragmentary texts. She employs narratology and cognitive theory in her analyses.
Her publications and edited volumes, including the monographs Moral History from Herodotus to Diodorus Siculus (2016) and Rethinking Hellenistic Historiography (2025), examine the evolution of Greek historiography under the Roman Empire and the use of immersive narrative strategies. She has held an Alexander von Humboldt Senior Research Fellowship (2017-18) and received teaching and conference grants from the University of Glasgow.
Hau supervises postgraduate research in historiography, moral concepts, and narrative theory, currently guiding a PhD project on the philosophical foundations of universal history and an MRes on combat trauma in Roman poetry. Her teaching spans postgraduate courses on Thucydides and Greek political thought, Honours-level Greek and Classical Civilization courses, and pre-Honours lectures on Herodotus, Greek warfare, and Athenian democracy.
