Department of Classics - Princeton University

I received my undergraduate degree in Classical Studies in 2007 from
Middlebury College, where I completed a senior thesis on the Roman law
of adoption in the late republic and Augustus’ use of this law in his
efforts to name a successor.  After college, I worked for three years
in grant-writing and development at a non-profit in Washington, DC
while completing the post-baccalaureate program at Georgetown
University.

I began my PhD in Classics at Princeton in the fall of 2010 as part of
the Program in the Ancient World.   Over the past year I have
particularly enjoyed gaining greater exposure to material culture
through seminars and participating in the excavation of Morgantina in
Sicily in the summer of 2011.  I am interested in various topics in
Roman republican and early imperial history including administration
and law, provinces, language contact, and epigraphy.
