Overview
My current research interests center on Latin poetry of the Augustan era. Since 2002 I’ve served as the Assistant Director of the American Office (Rédacteur/Editor) of l’Année Philologique, the international bibliography of classical studies, which publishes notices and abstracts of classical scholarship throughout the world, covering the ancient classical languages, literature, history, archaeology, philosophy, science and technology, and allied topics. Previously, I’ve taught Latin and Greek language, literature, and civilization courses from the undergraduate through graduate seminar levels.
