I’m a graduate student who will shortly be finishing a PhD in classical philology. I write essays on intellectual history for left-wing magazines, and I’m entirely too active on Twitter as @thauma_idesthai. I’m interested in literary and political theory, theology, musical theatre, and gay history. When I’m lucky I write my dissertation; I also do this when I’m unlucky. I’m privileged to be able to teach literature and philosophy to some extraordinary first-year undergraduates, and I’d make a career of that if I could.
