Craig Williams is Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois. In his current book project, Whose Antiquity? Indigenous Writers of North America on Ancient Greece and Rome, Williams brings together for the first time over eighty Native writers of North America who have made various uses of Greco-Roman antiquity, writing in a range of genres from the seventeenth century to today.  This project has been supported by fellowships from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany), the Morphomata Center for Advanced Study at the University of Cologne (Germany), the U of I Center for Advanced Study, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
