Faculty
The faculty of the Classics Department at College Park is recognized for its dedication to teaching, as well as for many contributions to scholarship. Classics faculty have won a number of teaching awards and are committed to creating an active and supportive learning community. They bring to their teaching the fruits of their exciting and diverse research interests: the program of the ancient Olympics (Prof. Lee), spies and political informants (Prof. Rutledge), poetry and performance in early Greece (Prof. Stehle), Hellenistic government (Prof. Scholten), Roman women and ancient sexuality (Prof. Hallett), the women of the Odyssey (Prof. Doherty), and American attitudes toward Classical Myth (Prof. Staley).
