Teaching

American Society of Papyrologists Summer Institute 2022, University of Cincinnati

Co-instructor by invitation. I helped introduce a group of graduate students with a range of interests in ancient history to the study of manuscript documents on papyrus. In an intensive month-long program, I developed and co-led lectures, discussion, and guided research, hosted at the world-class library of the University of Cincinnati. Hybrid instruction accommodated students in person and joining remotely. A highlight of the course was directing the first-hand work of the students with original papyri on loan from the renowned collection of the University of Michigan.

Lectures in papyrology, 2019 & 2020, Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford

Lecturer. Introduced students (graduates and advanced undergraduates) of ancient history to documentary papyrology. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I adapted the 2020 version of the lectures to a hybrid learning model, with attention to digital tools for the study of papyri.  The papyri ranged in date from the earliest Greek-language evidence in Egypt to the 7th century CE. Documents from the Near East were also included for a comparative perspective.
