Three alumni who recently earned their PhD’s in our department now hold teaching appointments at other universities.
Zachary Biles is teaching a wide range of courses in Greek, Latin, and Classical culture at Davidson College where he joins three other faculty members. Davidson has a thriving Classics program, and many of its students come to college with a strong background in the field, often a few years of high school Latin. Zachary, his wife Jill, and their 9-month-old daughter Hannah are all enjoying their new surroundings. Zachary’s latest article, on “Originality and Intertextuality in Cratinus and Aristophanes,” has just been accepted for publication in the American Journal of Philology. This year will also see the appearance of work he completed earlier, “Aristophanes’ Victory Dance: Old Poets in the Parabasis of Knights” (ZPE) and a review.
Doug Doll has joined the faculty of the University of Oklahoma (Norman) as Visiting Lecturer in Classics. This fall, he is teaching Herodotus in Greek and Livy in Latin. In the spring, he will take over Intermediate Latin and offer a lecture course on Roman literature. Doug, his wife Belinda, and their son Jacob regret that Norman isn’t cooled by mountain breezes, but they like their new home nonetheless.
Paul Ojennus, who earned his degree in May after successfully defending his thesis (under the direction of Peter Knox) on “Character and Ambiguity in Apollonius Rhodius,” took up new duties as a Visiting Instructor this fall at Purdue University. He too is teaching both Greek and Latin at a variety of levels as well as developing new lecture courses on ancient literature in translation. He has completed an article on “Controversy in Callimachus’ Iambus 1” and is currently reviewing a book on Apollonius.
