Curriculum Vitae
My forthcoming book, Loving Humanity, Learning, and Being Honored: The Foundations of Leadership in Xenophon’s Education of Cyrus will be published with Harvard University Press in the fall of 2012. I am also one of the editors of “Cyrus’ Paradise”, a collaborative online commentary to the Cyropaedia (www.cyropaedia.org). I have published on the emotion of pity in three tragedies of Sophocles. At the 2012 American Philological Association’s annual meeting, I presented on the emotion of envy as it pertained to leadership. I have a forthcoming chapter in the Cambridge Companion to Apollonius of Rhodes on Jason’s “democratic” leadership of the Argonauts. For AY 2010-2011 I was on a fellowship at Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC.

Since coming to Howard in 2005, I have taught courses on Leadership in the Ancient World (also listed as Ideas in Antiquity), Greek Literature, Greek Civilization, Greek Drama, Ancient Comedy and Satire, an Independent Study on the Athenian Statesman Pericles, Elementary Greek, Xenophon’s Cyropaedia, Euripides’ Medea, selected speeches of Lysias, Catullus’ Carmina, and selections from Cicero’s Pro Caelio. In the summer of 2007 I took nine Howard students on a two-week tour of mainland Greece and the Greek islands.

Outside the field of Classics, I enjoy reading books about neuroscience, playing the guitar (poorly!), running marathons, and gardening.
