Joanne Vera Stolk (born 1987, The Netherlands) completed a BA in Classics and a BA in Comparative Indo-European Linguistics at the University of Leiden (2005-2009), followed by a MA in Ancient History at the KU Leuven and a ResMA in Linguistics at the University of Leiden (2009-2012). She obtained her PhD title at the University of Oslo with a dissertation on changes in the Greek case system based on the language of documentary papyri (Title: Case Variation in Greek Papyri. Retracing dative case syncretism in the language of the Greek documentary papyri and ostraca from Egypt (300 BCE-800 CE)). After submission of her PhD thesis, she taught Greek language courses at the University of Oslo and worked on editions of Greek and Coptic papyri from the papyrus collection of the Oslo University Library. As a postdoctoral fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders (2016-2021), she will continue to study the language of documentary papyri by focusing on the linguistic corrections by ancient scribes. Between 2017 and 2020, she will work as a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow (NFR COFUND) at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas (IFIKK) at the University of Oslo on a project on language standardization in Graeco-Roman Egypt.
