Career

Quinn obtained a BA in Classics in 1996 from Wadham College, Oxford.[2] She then obtained an MA (1998) and PhD (2003) in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology at the University of California, Berkeley.[2] In 2001-2002 she was the Ralegh Radford Rome Scholar at the British School at Rome.[2] In 2003-2004 she was a College Lecturer in Ancient History at St John's College, and she has been at Worcester College since 2004.[2] In 2008 she was a visiting scholar at the Getty Villa.[3]

Quinn is co-director of the Oxford Centre for Phoenician and Punic Studies,[4] and co-director of the Tunisian-British Excavations at Utica, Tunisia with Andrew Wilson and Elizabeth Fentress.[2][5]

Between 2006 and 2011, Quinn served as the editor of the Papers of the British School at Rome.

Quinn won the Zvi Meitar/Vice-Chancellor Oxford University Research Prize in the Humanities in 2009.[6] She has published numerous articles and two co-edited volumes, the Hellenistic West, and The Punic Mediterranean.[2] In 2018 Quinn published the monograph In Search of the Phoenicians, described as a pioneering and exhilarating volume,[7] which argues that the idea of the Phoenicians as a distinct, self-identifying group, is a modern invention.[8] The book was awarded the Society for Classical Studies Goodwin Award of Merit in 2019.[9]

Quinn contributes to the London Review of Books and the New York Review of Books, and has appeared on BBC Radio Three and Four.[10]
