Calloway Brewster Scott

Calloway Scott is a historian of ancient Greece. He is broadly interested in the ancient life-sciences and their points of entanglement with the various social, religious, and political institutions of the Greek polis. His first monograph, Hygieia, Ritual, and Community in Ancient Greece (UWP, 2026) examines the essential roles that discourses of health and rituals of healing played in constructing communities at various scales. In-progress monographs focus on the histories of "heredity" against the backdrop of the evolving institutional fabrics of the ancient Greek polis. He also is co-editor of a cultural history of bones in Greco-Roman antiquity (Every Bone Has Its Story, forthcoming CUP). In addition to numerous peer reviewed articles and handbook chapters on ancient medicine and religion he maintains research interests in the history of science, intellectual history, anthropology and religious studies. Finally, he currently serves as the Vice-President of the Society of Ancient Medicine. When he is not teaching, reading, or writing you can most likey find him running one of Cincinnati's Seven Hills or walking his dog Poppaea. Full CV at https://uc.academia.edu/CallowayScott
