Classics and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations
Sofia Torallas Tovar’s area of specialization is Greek and Coptic papyrology, and the study of Greco-Roman and late-antique Egypt. She works at the crossroads between the material study of written objects—papyri, ostraca, mummy labels, and inscriptions—and the analysis of the information provided by the wealth of Egyptian documentation. Torallas Tovar is Professor in the Department of Classics and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Associate Professor in the Divinity School at the University of Chicago.
