PhD in Classics and Archaeology, experienced Latin teacher

Catherine B.

Archaeology

I have a PhD in the archaeology of the Classical world (Greece and Rome). I have taught a range of courses in Greek and Roman archaeology at Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, and Holyoke Colleges. These courses include introductory survey courses, upper level undergraduate seminars, and graduate seminars. I have also been conducting archaeological fieldwork and research in Italy for the last 15 years at Pompeii and other archaeological sites.

Classics

I've taught at the undergraduate and graduate level at Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, and Mount Holyoke Colleges in a range of subjects, including Classical civilization courses in translation at all levels. As a graduate student, I took courses in Roman and Greek history, Classical civilization (reception of the Classical world, thematic courses), and courses on Greek and Roman literature. As a professor, I've taught courses in Classical studies on Roman history (Republican and Imperial), Greek history (Greek colonies and colonization), courses on thematic topics (Greek and Roman literature and its reception in modern film), ancient and modern colonization compared, courses on city and country in the Roman world, daily life in the Roman world, Roman topography and city life, and courses integrating Greek and Roman literature in translation, especially Pliny's letters, Catullus' poetry, Hellenistic pastoral poetry, Roman historians, and thematic courses on literary and historical topics, such as Roman slavery. I also spent a year teaching at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome, where I was a faculty member for the semester-long team-taught course on the city of Rome and its Classical world.

Latin

I have a PhD in Classics and have taught beginning Latin at the college level for the last ten years.
