Stella Antwiwaa is a Lecturer in the Department of Classics and Philosophy, University of Cape Coast, Ghana. Supported by Gerda Henkel Foundation Doctoral Scholarship, she completed her PhD in Literature at Makerere University (2022). She held a University of Michigan African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) Fellowship in 2024, where she researched the subaltern’s use of rhetoric to negotiate space and agency. Stella was a Visiting Researcher at Memorial University (2025), supported by the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant, under the project Classics at the Crossroads: Partnership, Mobility, and Exchange Between Ghana, Nigeria, and Canada. Her research interests include Classical Reception Studies, women and gender representations, and comparative literature. She is especially interested in interrogating how ancient (Greek) texts negotiate with African literature and adaptations. Her journal publications include “She-who-would-be-King: Women’s Participation in Politics” (Abibisem, 2024), “An Adaptation is its Own Original: A Comparative Assessment of Alcestis and Edufa” (JESAN, 2023), “Heirs or Pawns: The Role of Children from a Gender Perspective” (Nigeria and the Classics, 2023), and “Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum’s Reception of Aristotle: Implications for Classical Scholarship in Africa” (Nigeria and the Classics, 2023). She is currently working on a monograph that deconstructs gender narratives in Greek and Ghanaian dramatic texts. Stella is committed to building collaborations and interdisciplinary partnerships in Classics and related fields, especially in classical reception studies, gender and comparative literature, to promote cross-cultural conversations about the evolving significance of the ancient world.
