Yasmin Haskell
From 2024: UNESCO Chair in Intercultural and Interreligious Relations, Monash University, Melbourne.
I studied for my doctorate in Latin at the University of Sydney, with a thesis on Renaissance Italian didactic poetry (in Latin and Italian). My honours dissertation (1989) was on the influence of Lucretius in Giordano Bruno.
From 1995 -2003 I was a research fellow in Cambridge, UK, affiliated with the Classics and Modern and Medieval Languages faculties, and with Newnham College.
From 1999-2003 I held a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Award and was hosted by the Department of Italian, University of Cambridge.
I returned to Australia with my young family in 2003 to take up the Cassamarca Foundation Chair in Latin Humanism in Perth, WA. From 2010 I was one of 10 Foundation Chief Investigators of the ARC Centre of Excellence in the History of Emotions in Europe: 1100-1800, leading projects on 'Jesuit Emotions' and 'Passions for Learning'.
From 2017-2018 I was Chair of Latin and Director of the Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition, University of Bristol, UK.
I have held visiting fellowships at All Souls and Christ Church Colleges, Oxford, and Trinity College, Cambridge, the Institute of Advanced Studies, Princeton, and am a fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, of the Academia Latinitati Fovendae, and a ‘shepherdess’ of the Academy of Arcadia.
