Selena Wisnom is Lecturer in the Heritage of the Middle East at the University of Leicester. Her research centres on the heritage of ancient Iraq, specifically the languages, literature, and intellectual history of Mesopotamia. Particular areas of interest include Babylonian poetics and metre, Mesopotamian scholarly texts, divination, and neo-Assyrian history. Previous work includes The Library of Ancient Wisdom: Mesopotamia and the Making of History (2025) and Weapons of Words: Intertextual Competition in Babylonian Poetry (2019). She collaborates with several arts, heritage, and community organisations to promote broader engagement with Iraq’s ancient history and culture, especially through theatre and performance. A published poet, she has written three plays set in ancient Assyria; the most recent, Ashurbanipal: The Last Great King of Assyria, was staged at London's Crypt Gallery in 2019.
