Lecture with Mycenologist, Professor Thomas G. Palaima

Thomas G. Palaima is Robert M. Armstrong Centennial Professor and founding director of the university's Program in Aegean Scripts and Prehistory (PASP) in the Department of Classics at the University of Texas at Austin.

As a part of this semester's research presentations, the Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen would like to invite interested parties to a presentation by Mycenologist, Robert M. Armstrong Centennial Professor and founding director of the university's Program in Aegean Scripts and Prehistory (PASP) in the Department of Classics at the University of Texas at Austin, Thomas G. Palaima. The presentation will be followed by a discussion.

Thomas G. Palaima has extensively worked on Aegean scripts, with a strong focus on palaeography, scribal systems, the role of the Linear B tablets within the palace administration and economy, and the relationship between Linear B and the yet-to-be-deciphered Linear A. Palaima's other interests include writing public intellectual commentaries, researching about how humans respond to war and violence, and Bob Dylan's music and cultural influence. Palaima was also awarded a MacArthur fellowship in 1985 and received an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Humanities at Uppsala University, Sweden, in 1994.
