Biography

Nikoletta joined the School of Classics in September 2012 following studies at Thessaloniki (with an Erasmus semester in Florence), Cambridge, and Durham. She has been Teaching Fellow in Latin and Classical Studies (2012-2014), Leverhulme Early Career Fellow (2014-2017), and Lecturer in Latin (2018-2019). She is currently Lecturer in Latin (Education Focused).

Teaching

Nikoletta teaches across sub-honours and honours in Latin and Classical Studies; her honours modules include Roman Epic and Women in Myth. She is also involved in the teaching of the MLitt core and Latin optional module; for the latter she delivers seminars on Written Women and Space in Latin Literature.

Research areas

Nikoletta's research encompasses Augustan and Early Imperial Latin poetry, and follows a cultural-historical approach, which is interested in close readings of the texts against their wider background. She is currently preparing a monograph on sisters, focusing on Latin epic but effectively tracing their literary history across genres from Homer to the Flavians, and taking into account all evidence of their ‘real-life’ Roman counterparts. A second monograph will follow, which examines the motif of viewing from above in Latin epic, the topic of her Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship.
