Haverford College

Join us for a Young Academic Alumni Lecture by Florencia Foxley '13!

This will be a hybrid talk, join the Zoom here.

Florencia Foxley is a lecturer in the Department of Classics at Dartmouth. Her research focuses on Greek poetry, specifically Athenian tragedy of the 5th century. In particular, she is interested in the construction and social regulation of family structures and roles in Greek society and literature, especially the way motherhood and childbirth are regulated and ideologized in service of patriarchal social structures. Her dissertation, "From Nymphē to Gynē: The Role of Childbirth in the Anomalous Weddings of Euripides," argued, through a study of Euripidean tragedy and late 5th century vase painting, that childbirth was in fact an essential and final step to the wedding ritual in Athens, without which young women were not considered full adults or wives. She relies on a number of theoretical lenses in her work, including feminist theory, narratology, and post-colonial theory.

You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
