I am a graduate student in
Classics at
Brown University, currently writing my dissertation on Catullus poem 64 as an intertext in Virgil's Aeneid.
My research interests center on late Republican and Augustan poetry, but I also enjoy studying Greek and Roman epic and the reception of classical literature from
the Renaissance to the 21st century. My critical methodology focuses on connections between texts, including allusion and intertextuality, and recently I have
developed an interest in reception theory. I have presented my work in these areas at conferences and symposia, and I recently delivered a paper on Lucretius at the 2006 APA Annual Meeting in Montreal.
I enjoy teaching Latin and Ancient Greek, as well as classical literature in translation, interdisciplinary courses on ancient civilization, and the classical tradition. Last year I completed a teaching certificate program at Brown's Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning. My other recent and current activities include serving as the Graduate Student Teaching Liaison for the Sheridan Center, coordinating "Approaches to the Ancient World," an interdisciplinary graduate student workshop funded by the Mellon Foundation, and organizing a graduate student conference on ancient invective, "Sticks & Stones, Speeches & Songs."
