Annie Burman

I am a Classical philologist, currently running the CESU project (Corpus of Etruscan Squeezes at Uppsala). This project’s aim is to catalogue and digitise the Etruscan squeeze collection of Professor Olof August Danielsson.

I was awarded the Bernadotte scholarship in 2021 by the Royal Academy of Letters, and also received funding for the CESU project from Iris Jonzén-Sandblom and Greta Jonzén Foundation.

I received my PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2018 for my thesis De Lingua Sabina: A Reappraisal of the Sabine Glosses. I was awarded a BA (2011) and an MPhil (2012), both in Classics, from the University of Cambridge and an MA degree in modern history from Uppsala University (2013). My research interests include pre-Roman languages of Italy, ancient bilingualism, the linguistic classification of fragmentary languages, Roman antiquarianism during the Republic and Early Empire, and ethnic identities in ancient Italy. I also have an interest in Classical reception, early modern European study of language and Swedish Gothicism.
