My dissertation is focused on speech-rhythm as a feature of characterization in archaic Greek epic poetry: can (and if so, how does) the bard modulate the clause structures, word divisions, and scansion to &#8216;fit&#8217; a speech-act or an individual? Throughout my studies (BA 2014, Boston University; Post-Bac 2015, University of Pennsylvania; MA 2016, Indiana University Bloomington) I have gone through phases of interest in Herodotus, Homer, Horace, the origins of the City Dionysia, Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns, and archaic Roman satire. It was only later that I realized that I was always seeking to understand the role that poetry played in the ancient Greco-Roman world, both as a historical feature of civic life as well as a means to construct identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dissertation-in-Progress:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Rhythm and Character in Homer&#8217;s<\/em>\u00a0Iliad<br \/>\nFirst Reader: Scully<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent Papers:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u2018Prayer as a rhythm in Homer\u2019s Iliad,\u2019 The Society for Classical Studies Annual Meeting, 6 Jan. 2023 (New Orleans, LA)<\/li>\n<li>\u2018The Traditional Verbs for Divine Rescue in Homer\u2019s Iliad,\u2019 The Classical Association of the Atlantic States Annual Meeting, 7 Oct. 2022, (Wilmington, DE)<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Elpis Trapped in Hesiod\u2019s Myth of Pandora,\u2019 The Classical Association of New England Annual Meeting, 9 Apr. 2022, (held virtually)<\/li>\n<li>\u2018The Homeric Line to Caesar: Apollo\u2019s Epiphany in Horace Sermones I.9,\u2019 The Society for Classical Studies Annual Meeting, 8 Jan. 2022, (held virtually)<\/li>\n<li>\u2018The City Dionysia: A Festival of the Athenians, for the Athenians, by the Athenians\u201d- Classical Association of the Atlantic States, 10-12 October, 2019 (Silver Spring, MD)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"author":15498,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/classics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/7339"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/classics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/classics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/classics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15498"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/classics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/7339\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10421,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/classics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/7339\/revisions\/10421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/classics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
