Schuch Friends of Classics Postdoctoral Research Fellow, San Diego State University, 2022-2023
Visiting Assistant Professor of Classical Studies, Trinity College

Emi C. Brown comes to Trinity College from San Diego State University, where she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in 2022-24. Prior to this, she was a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at the University of Southern California. Brown, who is from Seattle, completed her B.A. and M.A. in Classics at the University of British Columbia before earning her Ph.D. in Classics at the University of Southern California in 2021, along with a certificate in Visual Studies. She is currently working on a book project, based on her doctoral dissertation, that explores monumentality and the city in Martial’s Epigrams. This project considers how Martial interrogates and undermines the Flavian ideological program through his allusions to the monuments of Rome. Brown’s first teaching goal is to leave students with tools that can help them navigate both the academic and professional world, including effective writing and argumentation, deep analytical skills, and methods of critical thinking. The second, and most important goal, is to facilitate in students open-mindedness and empathy through the consideration of the past as something not fundamentally divided from the present.

Thomas Cirillo

B.A. Kenyon College 2006, Ph.D. USC 2012
Mellon-ACLS Dissertation Fellow
Lecturer, Department of Classics, University of Southern California, 2013-2015
Instructor, Foreign Languages Department, Montgomery-Bell Academy, Nashville, Tennessee, 2015-

 

I graduated from USC in 2012 with a PhD after writing a dissertation titled “Categorizing Difference: Classification, Biology, and Politics in Aristotelian Philosophy.” After graduating I taught at USC as a lecturer for three years. At USC I taught a number of classes ranging from Beginning Latin to General Education courses on Greek and Roman drama. In the fall of 2015 I began teaching at Montgomery Bell Academy, an all-boys school in Nashville, Tennessee with grades 7 through 12. In fact, my coming to teach at Montgomery Bell has a USC connection: Ric Rader, who formerly taught at USC, and his wife, Chiara Sulprizio, a USC grad, moved to Nashville in 2014 when Ric took a position teaching Latin and German at the school; they contacted me when there was another Latin opening the following year.

 

At Montgomery Bell Latin is a required course for 8th and 9th graders. I regularly teach several sections of both 8th grade Latin and our Latin III Honors course in which students read original selections from Cicero, Catullus, and Ovid. In addition to teaching these courses, I also am an assistant coach for varsity cross country/track & field and help out with our Community Service Club. MBA has many travel opportunities, both domestic and international, for students and I have the good fortune to take part in trips to the Grand Canyon, Rome, and Lithuania, among others.  The biggest difference between being in the university environment and the high school one is that my concerns are much more day-to-day than long-term, i.e., giving feedback on daily homework and putting together a workout for cross country rather than gathering sources and doing research for a presentation or paper. I’ve enjoyed teaching in the secondary school setting – I’m glad to still be in the field of Classics and getting younger students interested in the ancient world and I enjoy being part of the various athletic teams and other extracurricular programs.
