Dr Emily Hauser is Senior Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter. She read Classics at the University of Cambridge and received her PhD in Classics from Yale University in 2017; from 2017–2018 she was a Junior Fellow at the Society of Fellows at Harvard University.

Her research focuses on Homer, Greek poetry, women in antiquity, gender studies, and the theory and practice of classical reception, particularly in contemporary women’s writing. She is interested in the intersection of gender and poetics in the ancient world (particularly Greek poetry) and its contemporary reception. She is the author of How Women Became Poets: A Gender History of Greek Literature (2023, Princeton University Press) and co-editor of Women Creating Classics and Women Re-Creating Classics (both 2025, Bloomsbury). How Women Became Poets was selected as Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year, and shortlisted for the Seminary Co-Op’s Best Books of the Year, 2023.
