ANNA PETERSON APPOINTED ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN CAMS
Anna Peterson (PhD Ohio State 2010) is a Hellenist specializing in Greek prose of the Roman imperial era, particularly in the works of Lucian the wit and satirist. Anna’s scholarship examines the intersection of comedy and philosophy, and the way in which Lucian presents himself as a defender of “true” philosophy by rooting out charlatans. A seasoned teacher of Greek and courses in classics, Anna comes from Loyola University of Chicago, and will join our faculty in the fall of 2014.
