Hi all! I'm a secondary Latin teacher and a recent MA grad in comp lit/classics looking to get back into academia. My interests are primarily in Homer and Classical Athens as well as Vergil on the Latin side, and I specialize particularly in comparative/philosophical approaches (especially psychoanalysis and Hegelian philosophy). Classics is a tough field for a comparativist but now that I have the MA I'm hoping I'll be more successful than when I failed to find a program last time!
I'm applying to Harvard, Brown, Boston University, and Princeton for classics and Yale for their combined Classics/Comp Lit programs. I know this is a heavy list but it is driven more by geographical concerns than anything - I'm from the northeast and would like to stay, for now.
Good luck to you all!
