Teaching

I am happy to supervise graduate students interested in Greek scholarship and Greek science, literary and sub-literary papyrology and reception studies.

I teach courses on Greek literature at every level (undergraduate and graduate) and on most curricular authors from Homer to Lucian. Among the Classical Civilization courses I regularly teach are Greek Civilization (CLCIV 101), Greek Tragedy Then and Now (CLCIV 120), Greek Myth (CLCIV 385), and Classical Comedy from Aristophanes to Sitcoms (CLCIV 350), Greek Science (CLCIV 348), Astronomy Before the Telescope (CLCIV 250).
