- About Me:
- I teach/have taught literature, humanities, and Latin at the college level. Over the past five years, I've taught all of these at the University of Southern Indiana, but now I'm looking for another job -- I'd love to teach more Latin! I'd particularly like to improve my own active use of Latin (speaking and writing), and be able to incorporate these in my teaching. Having studied a number of modern & medieval European language (and achieved fluency in one or two), I want to improve my facility with Latin, and start learning Greek.
