Carman Romano

I fell into Classics after matriculating to Haverford College and enrolling in Latin simply to fulfill a distribution requirement. Latin tested me, fascinated me, and rewarded me beyond measure, and I soon found that Classics is the discipline for students and scholars to marry their passions for multiple lines of inquiry. I threw myself into Greek and more Latin and brought the interests I’d developed as a presumed English and Religious Studies major to Classical Languages. After graduating, I earned my PhD from The Ohio State University where I continued to write about the religious imaginaries of ancient Greece and developed my teaching practice. I am so beyond excited to return this year to Bryn Mawr, an institution that introduced me to the discipline that I adore, where I am privileged to share and teach that same discipline to its amazing undergraduate population.
