Peter F. Dorman
Author · 1 book
Dr. Peter Dorman is the 15th president of the American University of Beirut, and great-great grandson of Daniel Bliss—the founder of the AUB. He completed his undergraduate studies at Amherst (BA, 70) and University of Chicago (PhD, 85). He brings to the AUB a record of academic accomplishment as a humanist and an international leader in the study of the ancient near east, and in particular the field of Egyptology, in which he is a noted historiographer, epigrapher and philologist. He is the author and editor of several major books and many articles on the study of ancient Egypt and is probably best known for his historical work on the reign of Hatshepsut and the Amarna period.
