Jared Hudson came to Harvard in 2014 from Trinity University, having received his PhD in Classics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2013. He holds an MPhil from Cambridge and a BA from Yale. His current research (a book entitled, On the Way: a Poetics of Roman Transportation) examines the literary and cultural representations of ancient Roman transport. He is more generally interested in the interactions between Latin literature and Roman culture, and has an abiding interest in the Roman rhetorical and grammatical tradition, as well as in ancient ("popular") etymology, both Greek and Latin.
