Courses
I teach courses both in ancient languages (in addition to Greek and Latin at all levels, I have taught Lycian and Old Persian), and in a wide range of archaeological and historical topics. Coming up this year:
- Digital Reading, Digital Writing
- Intermediate Greek
- Introduction to Classical Archaeology
- Archaeology and Time (S17)
Research
I described my work on manuscripts for the Academic Minute broadcast (or download the podcast).
I recently spoke at a U.C. Berkeley symposium on "The Future of Computing" honoring the retirement of Dave Patterson. My topic was "Building scientific apps — in vellum."
