Biography:
Marie Gruver is a master’s student in CAMS. Their areas of interest are classical archaeology, architectural history, urbanism, and sacred spaces. In particular, their research explores the ways in which Corinth’s Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore’s built environment and sacred spaces influenced the formation of a uniquely “Corinthian” identity in the Archaic period. They obtained their B.A. in classical studies and history, with a minor in art history in 2024 from Hollins University, a historically women’s college in Roanoke, Virginia. They also pursued a Post-Baccalaureate certificate in Classical Studies at William & Mary. They have excavated with the Lechaion Harbour and Settlement Land Project in Corinth, Greece and look to pursue a master’s in architecture next before continuing on to PhD program for classical archaeology and architectural history.
