Rebecca A. Salem joins the Department of Classics in 2025 as a Marilyn Yarbrough Dissertation/Teaching Fellow. She is a Ph.D. candidate in art history and archaeology at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Her dissertation considers ancient Greek architecture from a diachronic perspective considering religious architecture as process rather than product. She is the project architect of the American-Italian Archaeological Mission at Selinunte in Sicily and she is a senior team member of American Excavations Samothrace where she specializes in 3D modeling (photogrammetry and scanning) and sculpture.
Prior to Kenyon, Rebecca received the Anna C. & Oliver C. Colburn Fellowship from the Archaeological Institute of America and the Gorham Phillips Stevens Fellowship in the History of Architecture and the Martin Ostwald Fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
