Career

After earning his PhD, Edmondson joined the faculty at York University. Since the start of his time at York, he served as co-ordinator of the Programme in Classical Studies from 1995 to 1998 and again from 2001 to 2005. He soon became a Full Professor in 2005.[1] As well, he edited the Phoenix Supplementary Series through the University of Toronto Press beginning in 1987,[1] and also served as president of the Ontario Classical Association before stepping down in 2006.[2] He was shortly thereafter chosen to become the new president of the Classical Association of Canada (CAC).[3] Two years later, while serving as Chair of the Department of History, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.[4] In 2011, he was the recipient of the Genio Protector de la Colonia Augusta Emerita by Spain's Ministry of Culture and the Museo Nacional de Arte Romano, Mérida.[5]

In 2014, Edmondson was the recipient of the Award of Merit from the Classical Association of Canada.[1] The following year, he received a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council to research "Names and identity in Roman Spain: the ADOPIA project."[6] He also sat on York's Research Release Adjudication Committee[7] and edited a book with Christer Bruun. The book, titled "The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy," was described as "the most complete collection of scholarship on Roman epigraphy."[8]

In 2016, Edmondson was the recipient of York's Award for Distinction in Research, Creativity or Scholarship for his research on the Roman Empire, Roman inscriptions and Roman social history.[9] In 2017, York University named Edmondson a Distinguished Research Professorship. A Distinguished Research Professorship, according to York, was awarded to someone who has made outstanding contributions to the University through research.[10]

In June 2019, Edmondson received a diploma due to his role as a corresponding member of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut.[11] In September, he was one of three York professors elected to the Royal Society of Canada.[12]
