Assistant Professor; Greek Art. B.A., Colby College, Ph.D. Harvard University

Professor Westervelt joined the Art History Department at Boston University in 2004, after receiving her Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from Harvard University. She spent two years traveling and conducting research in Greece as a Regular Member at the American School of Classical Studies (2001-2002) and as the Edward Capps Fellow (2002-2003), also at the American School. Her dissertation, "The Centauromachy in Greek Architectural Sculpture", examines the sculptural programs of four major temples of the fifth century. She is currently revising it for publication. Professor Westervelt’s areas of special interest include sculpture and painting of the Archaic and Classical periods, and Greek literature, especially of the Epic, Lyric and Tragic genres.
