Kathryn Gleason, professor of landscape architecture and a member of the Cornell Institute for Archaeology and Material Studies (CIAMS) at Cornell University, will present the next Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture on Wednesday, March 23.

The lecture is at 5:30 p.m. in Richards Hall Rm. 15. It is free and open to the public. The lecture is also accessible via Zoom at https://unl.zoom.us/j/92305010114.

A leading expert on the archaeology of ancient Roman gardens and designed landscapes, Gleason has directed or consulted on excavations at the palaces of Herod the Great of Judea (Israel; Palestine), the Petra Garden and Pool Project (Jordan), Horace’s Villa at Licenza and the Villa loc. Santa Maria at Nemi (Italy).

Working closely with Amina-Aicha Malek and Kim J. Hartswick, she oversaw the completion of Wilhelmina Jashemski’s Gardens of the Roman Empire publication project (Cambridge University Press 2018 and an online publication https://roman-gardens.github.io/about/).

In 2009, she began work in the Vesuvian region, first on the villa gardens of Stabiae and currently on an urban garden at Pompeii, the Casa della Regina Carolina.
