Charlotte Roueché

Charlotte Roueché (born 1946) is a British academic who specialises in the analysis of texts, inscribed or in manuscripts, from the Roman, Late Antique, and Byzantine periods. She is particularly interested in those from the Asia Minor cities of ancient Ephesos and Aphrodisias. She is also interested in the interface between digital humanities and classical and Byzantine studies. She is Professor Emerita of Digital Hellenic Studies at King's College London.

Roueché has a degree in Classics from Newnham College, Cambridge.

On 21 June 2018, Roueché was awarded a Docteur ''honoris causa'' by the l’École Pratique des Hautes Études, Sorbonne University, Paris. The title is 'one of the most prestigious distinctions awarded by French universities to honor personalities of foreign nationality because of outstanding services to science, literature or the arts'. Her honorary lecture was 'Le défi Robert: transformation d’une discipline'.

In 2019 she gave The Susan Hockey Lecture in Digital Humanities at University College London, 'Wider Horizons, Harder Borders or Whose data are they, anyway?' Also in 2019, she delivered the 10th Barron Memorial Lecture at the Institute of Classical Studies, London; the lecture was titled 'Forming/informing the modern world? The role of classical scholarship'.
