Fiona Greenland works at the intersection of cultural sociology, comparative and historical sociology, and archaeology. The core issue she investigates is the role of artifactual culture in modern social life. To do this, she uses mixed qualitative methods that attend to individual and group interpretive practices, the nexus of art, money, and meaning, and the historical contingencies of institutional authority over cultural materials. Greenland has conducted fieldwork in archaeological sites, museums, and antiquities shops in Italy, Spain, Britain, and the United States. Her research is supported by the National Science Foundation. She is the author of, most recently, Ruling Culture: Art Police, Tomb Robbers, and the Rise of Cultural Power in Italy (Chicago, 2021). Greenland is founder and director of the CURIA Lab (Cultural Resilience Informatics and Analysis). She served as an elected council member of the American Sociological Association’s Section on Culture, the Comparative-Historical Section, and the Theory Section. She is a Faculty Fellow at the Yale Center for Cultural Sociology (CCS), and a member of the editorial boards of the American Journal of Cultural Sociology and Sociological Theory.
