Calloway Scott is a sixth-year PhD candidate. He completed his BA in Greek and Latin at Kenyon College (2007) with a minor in Philosophy and a post-baccalaureate at UNC Chapel Hill. Calloway’s interest lie in the medical and religious traditions of ancient Greek society, medical anthropology and phenomenology. His research focuses on the poetics of health and sickness across a wide variety of Greek media—literary and material. His dissertation, entitled “Asklepios on the Move” explores the relationship between “rational” medical thought and healing cults in the cultural production of the concept of “health,” and in the social mechanisms which organized health-care and welfare in the ancient Greek world.
