Laura Harris (she/her)

I am a scholar of Latin poetry and gender and sexuality, especially as viewed through a queer theoretical lens. In addition, I have interests in the intersection of elegy with epigraphy and material culture. My dissertation is entitled “Virginitate frui: Charting Asexuality in Latin Poetry” and considers how asexual resonances in Latin epic create possibilities of alternative queer lives and how compulsory sexuality manifested in Augustan Rome.
