Education & Professional History
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, BA, MA; University of Florida, PhD
I am a classical philologist and an interdisciplinary researcher who aims at communicating her academic work with audiences inside-and-outside academia to create spaces for social change. My research interests are centered around classical Athenian drama, classical reception, and digital humanities with a focus on the concepts of identity performance, otherness, and inclusivity in fifth-century BCE Athens and contemporary North America. My current research project focuses on ways we can re-imagine and re-tell the stories of Euripides’ female characters through the art of digital storytelling.
At Carleton since 2023.
