Lamont received a B.A. from the College of William & Mary in 2008, and a Ph.D. in Classics from The Johns Hopkins University in 2016 (with a certificate in Classical Archaeology and Art). Her research is interdisciplinary, focusing on Greek history, religion, and material culture. She is interested in Attic healing cults and Hippocratic medicine during the Pentekontaetia and the Peloponnesian War, in addition to “magic” in Greek antiquity — especially curse tablets, binding spells, voodoo dolls, and incantations. She also has research and teaching interests in Greek archaeology and material culture. She has worked for many summers as a field archaeologist at sites across Greece, with a focus on networks of trade and mobility, Greek ceramics, and domestic economies.
