My bachelor’s and doctoral degrees are from Harvard in Classics. Classics is the academic area that studies every aspect of ancient Greece and Rome. I specialize in ancient Greek literature, especially the rhetoric of the Athenian democracy. This will be my first year as a faculty member at Carolina after ten years at the University of Georgia, the last two as chair of the Communication Studies Department. I am looking forward to working with first-year students and getting to know Carolina with you.
