Gary Michael Beckman
22. August 1948
Gary M. Beckman wurde 1948 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA als Sohn von Joseph Beckman, Arbeiter, und Leah Ball Beckman, Verkäuferin, geboren.
Seine Schulzeit verbrachte und vollendete Gary M. Beckman in Burbank, California (Burbank High School). Nach der High-School (1966) studierte er am Pomona College die klassischen Sprachen Griechisch und Hebräisch und schloss diese als >Classics< bezeichneten Studien im Juni 1970 mit dem B.A. ab. Seine Hochschulausbildung und sowie seine akademische Karriere vollzogen sich danach an der Yale University. Er studierte am Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations die Fächer Hethitologie und Assyriologie zusammen mit heute so bekannten Größen des Faches wie H. A. Hoffner, W. Hallo oder J.J. Finkelstein. Im März 1973 folgte der Abschluss des M.A sowie im April 1974 der Abschluss als M. Phil. Ein Dankstipendium des Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienstes (DAAD) verhalf Gary M. Beckman zu einem zweijährigen Forschungsaufenthalt an der Philips-Universität Marburg, wo er bei Prof. Otten studierte und forschte.
Seine Dissertation erfolgte 1977 (Hittite Birth Rituals) am bereits erwähnten Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (NELC). Im September 1978 wurde er an die Yale Universität (NELC) berufen, wo er als Assistant Professor für Hethitisch arbeitete und forschte, also an eben jenem Department, an welchem er promovierte. Während dieser Zeit nahm er auch die Funktion des Assistant Curator der Yale Babylonian Collection wahr. Von 1979 bis 1987 war er am gleichen Department auch Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Im Jahre 1984 wurde Gary M. Beckman Associate Professor of Hittite am NELC Department, eine Tätigkeit, die er bis 1988 innehatte, bevor im gleichen Jahr Associate Curator der Yale Babylonian Collection wurde und diese Funktion auch bis 1992 ausübte.
1992 erfolgte der Wechsel an die University of Michigan an das Department for Near Eastern Studies, an der er bis heute als Professor of Hittite and Mesopotamian Studies lehrt und forscht.
Ab dem Juli 2004 wird Gary M. Beckman für eine fünfjährige Amtszeit “Chairman of the Department of Near Eastern Studies“ at Michigan werden. Derzeit nimmt er auch die Vize-Präsidentschaft der American Oriental Society wahr.
Sein derzeitiger Forschungsschwerpunkt bezieht insbesondere die Beziehung Mesopotamiens zu den Randegebieten im zweiten vorchristlichen Jahrtausend ein. Derzeit befindet sich ein Projekt in der Endphase, das Gary M. Beckman mit dem Archäologen Kamyar Abdi verfolgt, welches das altbabylonische Material des Archives von Choga Gavaneh (West-Iran) auswertet.
Gary M. Beckman ist auch mit dem großen Wörterbuch-Projekt der Hethitologie der University of Chicago (Oriental Institute) als Consultant seit 1981 (mit einigen Unterbrechungen) bis heute verbunden.
Er ist mit Karla T. Taylor verheiratet und ist vierbeinigen Haustieren zugetan. Er hat fünf Katzen sowie einen Hund.
