Dr. Gil Gambash, Department of Maritime Civilizations, University of Haifa

Gil Gambash is a classical historian, studying the ancient Mediterranean. He is the co-founder and director of the Haifa Center for Mediterranean History. He spends the year 2020 at the Institute of Classical Studies in London, as a Leverhulme visiting scholar, working on ecological perspectives of Mediterranean societies. His current project focuses on arid areas and their interaction with the maritime sphere, seeking to explain modes of primary production, habits of consumption, and economic dependencies. The launching point of the project is the southern Levantine Negev, and its dominant late-antique wine industry, which relied on carefully devised runoff farming.
