Bond received her PhD in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2011. [2] Her doctoral thesis was entitled Criers, Impresarios, and Sextons: Disreputable Occupations in the Roman World. [3] Her PhD was supervised by Professor Richard Talbert. Bond received a master's degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in 2007. [4] She was awarded a BA in Classics and History from the University of Virginia in 2005. [5]
Bond is the author of numerous articles on tradesmen and law in the later Roman empire, and her first monograph, entitled Trade and Taboo: Disreputable Professionals in the Roman Mediterranean, was published in 2016 by University of Michigan Press. [6] A review found it to have made a "significant advance in our understanding of attitudes and reality throughout antiquity." [7]
Bond was appointed assistant professor of classics at the University of Iowa in 2014, [8] after holding an assistant professorship in Ancient and Early Medieval History at Marquette University from 2012. [9] She is chair of the Society for Classical Studies communication committee, associate editor for the Digital Humanities' Pleiades Project and co-Principal Investigator for the Big Ancient Mediterranean Project. [10] [8] She is also a member of the executive committee for the American Society of Greek and Latin Epigraphy for the period 2018–2021. [11] As of July 2019, Bond is no longer part of the University of Iowa Classics Department, and has taken up appointment as an associate professor with the history department.
Bond is a strong advocate for academic public scholarship and sustains a high level of visibility on social media. She has more than 25,000 followers on Twitter, and maintains her blog, History From Below. [12] She is the editor-in-chief of the Blog for the Society for Classical Studies. [13] She is a regular contributor to Hyperallergic.com, and she has written for Forbes, The New York Times, and The Chronicle of Higher Education , and the online Classics journal Eidolon. [14] [15] Bond created the website Women of Ancient History (WOAH), a crowd-sourced digital map and catalog of women who specialize in classical and biblical history. [16] In April 2019 she appeared on a segment on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee talking about polychromy on ancient statues. [17]
In 2022, Bond commissioned a review of the book The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe for the Los Angeles Review of Books . The publication was then accused by historian Mary Rambaran-Olm of rejecting her own critical review, in which she said the book followed a white-centric narrative, in order to protect the authors. Bond accused Rambaran-Olm of giving a selective version of the facts and pushed back against her accusations. Others became involved in the controversy, and two scholars falsely claimed Rambaran-Olm lied about her race and was not part Black. Bond later apologised, condemned the racist attacks against Rambaran-Olm, and deleted her Twitter account. [18] [19]
In 2019 she won the Society for Classical Studies' Outreach Prize for Individuals. [12] In her commendation, the SCS praised her expertise on 'an impressive array of subjects with the varied goals of inspiring curiosity and self-reflection...the work Prof. Bond does is highly intelligent—true public scholarship—and a tribute to our discipline.'
