Sara Lindheim
Sara Lindheim, Associate Professor of Classics, earned an undergraduate degree in Classics at Amherst College (1989) and a graduate degree in Classics at Brown University (1995). Her research focuses on Latin poetry of the Augustan Age, primarily through the lens of gender and psychoanalytic theory. Her first book, Mail and Female: Epistolary Narrative and Desire in Ovid's Heroides, explores the representation of feminine desire in the collection of poetic letters from heroines of ancient myth and literature to the heroes who have abandoned them. She is currently working on a project that seeks to explore the ways in which Augustan poets participate in a new cultural preoccupation with space that emerges with Augustus' consolidation of power and empire.
