Description of research and teaching
Rick Bonnie (PhD, University of Leuven) is a postdoctoral researcher in the Centre of Excellence in Changes in Sacred Texts and Traditions in the Department of Biblical Studies. He is also vice-team leader (in team "Material Cultural and Community Heritage") and postdoctoral researcher in the Centre of Excellence in Ancient Near Eastern Empires, located in the Faculties of Arts and Theology.
Bonnie's research focuses primarily on the archaeology of the Greco-Roman Near East with a special focus on urbanism, identity construction, materiality and ritualization. He has a keen interest in questions relating to how the Roman Empire created new dimensions of ‘cultural mobility’ and how this affected local cultural practices and self-representation in the empire. Bonnie also holds a research interest in community archaeology, heritage crime, and open science.
Currently, his research focuses on investigating private and communal religious practices in Galilee during the Late Second Temple-period (c. 100 BCE–70 CE) through two archaeological features: stepped pools and communal synagogue structures.
