 About the 2019 Latin Workshop Staff

 

Director: Lynn Gallogly

Lynn Gallogly is excited to return to Workshop again after serving as Director in 2018. Lynn received her PhD in Classics from Berkeley in May of 2019, with a dissertation on embodiment, performance, and textuality in Lucian. She has taught beginning Latin and Latin 100 at Berkeley, in addition to teaching in the Latin Workshop in 2016 and 2017.

The Director of the Workshop has a dual role as administrative supervisor and instructor.  In the classroom, the Director is responsible for presenting new grammar to students during the afternoon sessions of the first six weeks, as well as teaching one each of the Latin prose and poetry classes in the second half of the Workshop. 

 

Instructors for the First Half

Lauren Miller is looking forward to teaching in Part I of the Latin Workshop this summer. After receiving a BA from Williams College in 2015 in Classics and Comparative Literature, she moved to Berkeley to pursue graduate school, and completed her MA in 2017 (with a focus in Latin). This fall, she will be serving as editor-in-chief of the critical humanities and social sciences journal Qui Parle (published by Duke University Press) and taking her final qualifying exams; in Spring 2020, she plans to begin her dissertation, which will likely focus on clocks, coins, and other technologies of Roman political authority as depicted in Apuleius’ The Golden Ass.

Hamish White is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Classics Department at Berkeley.

The two instructors in the first half of the Workshop are responsible for the morning segment of the first 6 weeks, including office hours for general questions and a three-hour sectional review session over points of grammar presented the previous afternoon.  These sessions generally involve reviewing homework and drilling.  In addition, the first half instructors administer and grade quizzes and exams.

 

Instructor for the Second Half

Daniel Squire is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Classics Department at Berkeley; he previously attended Oxford University where he received his B.A. and M.St. in Classics. His dissertation research focuses on the scholia to Sophocles' Antigone. He has taught Latin 2 twice at Berkeley and is looking forward to teaching Vergil and Sallust this summer.

The fourth member of the Latin Workshop team teaches an additional Latin prose and Latin poetry course in the final four weeks of the Workshop.  These additional classes offer students in the Latin workshop the opportunity to select from a greater range of options for the second half reading courses.
