The 2026 Biggs Family Resident in Classics will be Elizabeth Meyer of The University of Virginia.

Her research explores the intersections of legal and documentary practices in the ancient world, with a focus on Roman law, literacy, manumission, and epigraphic traditions. Meyer's work sheds light on how legal and archival developments shaped broader societal structures in antiquity.
