Jared Hudson joined the Classics department at Harvard in 2014 after teaching at Trinity University. He received a BA from Yale, MPhil from Cambridge, and PhD in Classics from the University of California, Berkeley. His first book, The Rhetoric of Roman Transportation: Vehicles in Latin Literature (Cambridge University Press, 2020), investigates the function of ancient Roman modes of transport in Latin literary texts. He is primarily interested in Latin prose literature (especially authors of the late republic such as Cicero, Sallust, and Varro), but is more generally interested in the interactions between Latin literature and Roman culture, the Roman rhetorical and grammatical tradition, and ancient ("popular") etymology, both Greek and Latin.
