Classical Studies PhD Student
Colin Lacey received his BA in Classics with Honors from UMass Amherst in 2019, now in the PhD program at Boston University. His primary academic interests are ancient divination, epiphany, and Greek comedy, and in particular how Greek authors represented their gods as speaking and appearing to mortals. While not researching, and sometimes while researching too, Colin is listening to Laura Stevenson.
