Jonathan M. Hall is the Phyllis Fay Horton Distinguished Service Professor in the Humanities and the youngest scholar ever to win the Charles J. Goodwin Award for Merit from the American Philological Association for best book in the field. Ethnic Identity in Greek Antiquity (Cambridge University Press, 1997) investigates the question of what it meant to be ethnically Greek. Hall also is the author of Hellenicity: Between Ethnicity and Culture (University Of Chicago Press, 2002) and A History of the Archaic Greek World, 1200-479 BCE (Wiley-Blackwell, 2007). Hall has been at Chicago since 1996.
