It is our great pleasure to announce that Professor Brian Walters, currently visiting, will be joining us permanently. He has just accepted our offer of a tenure-track position.

Professor Walters, PhD University of California at Los Angeles (2011), is a specialist in Latin Prose Literature (Violence in Cicero). He holds a visiting appointment at our Department this year. He is in the process of publishing a monograph: based on his dissertation, as well as several articles, one of which is in a prominent peer-reviewed journal (Classical Quarterly). He is also the author of a translation of Lucan’s Civil War (forthcoming from Hackett Press in 2013). He is also a distinguished teacher (as many of our undergraduates already know).

Please join us in welcoming Professor Walters!
