James Ker is Assistant Professor of Classical Studies. He holds a B.A. in Classics from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. His research and teaching are primarily in imperial Latin literature, ancient rhetoric and philosophy, and Greco-Roman cultural history.
