Rebecca Futo Kennedy

I am currently Professor and Chair of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies. I also teach courses in Women's and Gender Studies, and Environmental Studies at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, USA.

BA, University of California at San Diego (1997)
MA, The Ohio State University (1999)
PhD, The Ohio State University (2003)

Before coming to Denison, I taught at Howard University and George Washington University in Washington, DC and at Union College in Schenectady, NY. My research focuses on the political, social, and cultural history of Classical Athens, ancient immigration, ancient  theories of race/ethnicity, the politics of identity (political, gendered, and ethnic, racial) and the reception of ancient ethno-racial ideas in modern race science. My primary teaching interests are in Greek and Latin language, race and ethnicity, women and gender,  Greek and Roman history, especially involving active pedagogies like Reacting to the Past and the reception of ancient ideas in modern contexts.
