Sarah Levin-Richardson
Sarah Levin-Richardson will join the department from 2010-2012 as the recipient of a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Humanities Research Center. She received her PhD in Classics from Stanford University in 2009 and is currently preparing a monograph, Beyond Desire: Romans and their Erotic Art, based on her dissertation.  Her work explores the intersection of eroticism, desire, and viewing in the Roman period. She is also preparing a series of articles on male and female uses of obscenity in ancient graffiti and a co-authored article revising the traditional active male/passive-female model of ancient sexuality. She will teach a CLAS/HART course in Fall 2010 on "The Social Lives of Graffiti: Ancient and Modern."
