Dr Henry Spelman

After a failed attempt to become a professional ice hockey goalie, I studied at the University of North Carolina as a Morehead Scholar and then at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. I first came to Cambridge as the WHD Rouse Junior Research Fellow in Classics at Christ’s College and returned for good after serving as Leventis Research Fellow in Ancient Greek at Merton College, Oxford.

Thanks to the generosity of the Leverhulme Trust, I will be on research leave from October 2025 to October 2027.
