Education and career

Nosch studied history at the Université Nancy II and history and classical philology at the University of Copenhagen. After obtaining her PhD on the Mycenaean textile industry at the University of Salzburg in 2000, supervised by Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy and Oswald Panagl, she worked for the Austrian Academy of Sciences' Mycenaean Commission and as a Carlsberg postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. She became a research professor in 2009 and subsequently a full professor (2017–present) in the SAXO Institute for the study of prehistoric and classical archaeology, ethnology, Classics and history, where she is a member of the National Danish Research Foundation's Centre for Textile Research; from 2005 to 2016 she was Director of this research centre.[1] She has received numerous high-profile awards, including the Iris Foundation Award for Outstanding Mid-Career Scholars (2009), the Humboldt Foundation's Anneliese Maier Award (2013), and Queen Margrethe II's Science Prize (2019), and is a member of the Order des Palmes académiques.[1][2][3][4] She is also a member of the Royal Danish Academy and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, is the Scandinavian representative on the Comité International Permanent d’Études Mycéniennes and a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and sits on the Board of Directors of the Velux Foundations.[5][6][1][7][8] In September 2020 she was elected President of the Royal Danish Academy.[9]

Research

Nosch's main area of expertise is in the study of textile production in Mycenaean Greece, based on archaeological finds, textual evidence from the Linear B tablets, and experimental archaeology;[10] she has published widely on the interpretation of Linear B tablets referring to textiles,[11] the operation of the textile industry,[12][13] the wider Mycenaean economy,[14] and Mycenaean religion.[15] Nosch has also participated in and directed interdisciplinary research projects on a wide range of aspects of textile production in the classical Greek and Roman worlds,[16] the ancient Near East,[17] and medieval and early modern Europe,[18] and has edited numerous volumes on the cross-cultural study of textiles,[19][20][21] as well as working on the use of textiles as metaphors in literary works.[1][22]
