About
Originally from Massachusetts, Caroline graduated with a BA in Classics from Oxford (2022) and joined the University of Michigan in the same year as a PhD student in ancient Greek and Latin literature. She researches Greek literature from the archaic and Classical periods and is a certificate student in Women's and Gender Studies. Her first article, "Helen and Trauma Narrative in the Iliad," was published in Arethusa in 2024.
While she primarily works with literature, Caroline has also excavated at three archaeological sites: the Roman city of Pollentia in Mallorca, the Hellenistic Greek city of Halaesa in Sicily, and the Etruscan city of Tarquinia in Lazio, Italy. Outside the classroom, she serves as a Board fellow with the Difficult Dialogues National Resource Center (a higher education nonprofit) and previously interned with Lupercal (a nonprofit dedicated to bridging the gender gap in Latin language studies) and the Public Engagement Department at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology.
In her free time, she competes for the university's fencing team and enjoys singing, playing the guitar, and running.
