C.V.

I have been a member of the department since 2000 and am currently the department chair. After receiving my PhD from Duke University in 1989, I moved to Boston, where I was an Assistant and Associate professor in the Classics Department at Tufts University. I am primarily interested in the history and literature of Late Antiquity and am currently President of the North American Patristic Society (2010-12) as well as a book review editor for the Journal of Late Antiquity. For the last few years the focus of my research has been Latin epigraphic poetry of the fourth and fifth centuries, including the verse of Pope Damasus; Roman topography; and the Acta martyrum Romanorum.
