- 教授 , 古典研究
I have been a 教授 of 古典研究 at 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 since 2001, a former chair of the Department, and former Director of the Collaborative for Learning and Teaching, 澳门金沙线上赌博官网’s faculty and staff development center. As a classics professor, I’m especially interested in how the ancient world is reflected in contemporary media, 包括小说, 表演, and even video games! 我的第二本书, 古代现在 (Cambridge 2015), is now in paperback, and a ’sequel’ is in the works (“Antiquity Tomorrow”). Recent articles—published and forthcoming—include those on the Netflix TV show Troy: Fall of a City; the Broadway musical Hadest自己的; and adaptations of 首页r for the contemporary stage. I’m proud that I’ve been teaching a cutting-edge course on classical reception since 2003—Antiquity and Modernity—along with a recent spin-off: Reimagining Tragedy. I team-teach the latter with my 太棒了 colleague in theater, 凯尔·吉列, with a focus on guiding students in the creation of their 自己的 versions of Greek or Roman tragedy. (And not just in theater! We’ve had podcasts, 棋盘游戏, 拍照, 拼贴画, 短篇小说, 预告片, and some excessively traumatizing props.)
For almost twenty years, I’ve been an occasional theater and opera critic for the 圣安东尼奥 Current and am passionate about the role and power of ‘public humanism’: the dissemination of scholarship and analysis to a broader public. Some of my columns may be found 在这里.
