About
I currently teach Biblical Literature at Georgetown University, having completed my PhD in the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near East under the advisement of Mark S. Smith at New York University. My dissertation was a study of the poetic laments over fallen warriors in the Homeric Epic tradition and the Hebrew Bible.
Dissertation “David, Achilles, and the Women’s Laments: Lamentation over the Fallen Warrior in Homer and the Hebrew Bible.”
