atherine Conybeare has recently taken up a position in the Department of Greek, Latin, and Classical Studies at Bryn Mawr College. Both her teaching and her research lie on the intersection between Classics and Theology: she works with the Latin literature of the late antique and medieval periods. Her first book, Paulinus Noster (Oxford 2000), explores the idiosyncratically Christian ideas developed in and through late antique letter exchange; this year, she will complete her second book, Augustine the Irrational (also for Oxford), which explores subversive and anti-authoritarian trends in Augustine of Hippo’s early thought. She has also published articles on various aspects of the literature and thought of late antiquity.

Conybeare read Classics at Oxford, and then took her doctorate in Medieval Studies from the University of Toronto. She comes to Bryn Mawr after some years at the University of Manchester in the UK, first in the Department of Religions and Theology, then in the Department of Classics.
