About
Ian Moyer completed his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, and before coming to Michigan, he taught in the History and Classics departments at Pomona College. He has also been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
His recent book, entitled Egypt and the Limits of Hellenism, explores the ancient history and modern historiography of cultural and intellectual encounters between ancient Greeks and Egyptians. This work ranges across the fields of history, classics, Egyptology, and the history of religions, and addresses problems of culture, identity and agency in cross-cultural interactions.
In his current work, he is reassessing relations between the Graeco-Macedonian state and the indigenous élite in Ptolemaic Egypt, and examining new political and cultural practices that were developed through transcultural interactions and negotiations.
