bio
I studied at Trier University in Germany in the 1990s. After holding various postdoctoral positions (Oxford, Trier & Exeter), I was appointed Associate Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Waterloo in 2009 and promoted to Full Professor in 2020. My teaching and research is concerned with a wide range of topics in the fields of Greek and Roman History as well as Latin (Language and) Literature and Greek Epigraphy. As a father of four children, I feel a growing need to step out of my comfort zones (my home, classroom and research publications) and engage more actively with topics that matter for the future of our society. The key values that I embrace are respect and sustainability.
