Jonas Tai is a PhD candidate on the Ancient History track. His research focuses on healing inscriptions at the sanctuary of Asclepius in Epidaurus, analyzing them as ideological discourse situated within ritual practice and institutional history. He draws on materialist theory, linguistic and medical anthropology, literary and textual theory, and historical analysis to examine how texts mediate authority, belief, and communal life in the ancient world.
