Brief CV

Ada Lasheras González holds a PhD Degree in Classical Archaeology from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Her PhD dissertation, “El suburbi portuari de Tarraco a l’Antiguitat tardana (segles III-VIII)”, was developed at the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology thanks to a predoctoral scholarship (FI-DGR 2015-2017) from the Government of Catalonia, and received the highest distinction by an international committee.

Her research focuses primarily on late antique cities and ports, with a special interest in the urban fabric of ports and trade networks in the western Mediterranean between the 3rd and 8th centuries. This work is reflected in her numerous publications in scientific journals, monographs, and conference proceedings, as well as the editing of an open-access book on Roman ports. She has also presented the findings and proposals arising from this research at dozens of academic conferences, both as an organizer and as a participant in these events.

She regularly engages in teaching activities, delivering lectures and seminars at the undergraduate and master’s levels at various Spanish universities, as well as leading extracurricular educational activities. In this regard, she has also served as a reviewer for various scientific journals and evaluated pre-doctoral projects.

Outreach activities are also a constant feature of her career. She has organized talks, workshops, and tours for diverse audiences, ranging from children to adults, with the dual goal of promoting knowledge about past societies and fostering critical thinking among young people, particularly regarding gender equality and environmental awareness.
