Katherine Harloe

She is an expert on the history of classical scholarship, the reception of Greek and Roman antiquity, and the eighteenth-century German classicist and art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann.

Her doctoral thesis was entitled Franz Neumann, the Rule of Law and the Unfulfilled Promise of Classical Liberal Thought,[2] and was supervised by Raymond Geuss.

[8] She published the monograph Winckelmann and the invention of antiquity: History and aesthetics in the age of Altertumswissenschaften (Oxford University Press) in 2013.

[10] She received a Mid-Career Fellowship from the British Academy to study Winckelmann's homoerotic love letters and their reception in the nineteenth century.

[15] Between 2021 and 2024, Harloe is principal investigator on the AHRC-funded research project 'Beyond Notability: Re-evaluating Women's Work in Archaeology, History and Heritage in Britain, 1870–1950', working alongside Amara Thornton and James Baker as co-investigators.
