On this episode of the Peopling the Past Podcast, we catch up with Dr. Katherine Harrington, who currently holds a Visiting Teaching Faculty position at Florida State University and will begin a postdoctoral fellowship at the Research Centre for Anatolian Civilizations at Koç University in Istanbul next year.
Join us as we talk about the role of women in the Athenian economy, textile production, and the ever-looming debate over Building Z in Athens (brothel? Tavern? House? Industry?)
