GRK 101, 102, 201, 202, 394 -- Ancient Greek language
GH 101 "Classical Cultures of Greece and Rome"

My research centers around the interdisciplinary study of ancient Greek and Latin language, 文学, and culture with special focus on the influence of Classical societies in the modern world.

This interest in Classical influences on later humanistic thought has led me to study of the life and works of the Victorian Irish author Oscar Wilde, who was himself an excellent student of Classical languages and 文学. I am especially involved in research on Wilde's 1882 American lecture tour and his belief in the redemptive value of beauty in everyday life.
