Tulane Global Humanities Center Symposium - Panel 4

Panel 4: Ports and Networks of the Ancient Mediterranean Turning to antiquity, this panel offered archaeological and historical perspectives on ancient port cities and the networks they sustained across the Mediterranean. A presentation by Justin Leidwanger (Stanford University) challenged top-down models of imperial control by showing how sailors, merchants, and local communities negotiated connectivity through informal, bottom-up practices. New research from Allison Emmerson (Tulane University) on Pompeii reframed the city as an active port economy shaped by seasonal trade and hospitality infrastructure. Each demonstrated how ancient systems of mobility structured everyday life — and how these early networks resonate with present-day debates about globalization, migration, and economic risk. Participants: Justin Leidwanger (Stanford) Allison Emmerson (Tulane) Moderated by Tatsuya Murakami (Tulane) Chaired by Susann S. Lusnia (Tulane)
