James L. Zainaldin

I am a doctoral student in the Department of Classics at Harvard University. My principal interests are:

Latin prose, both literary and non-literary
Science, technology, and medicine in Greece and Rome
Greco-Roman philosophy
Greco-Roman and Chinese comparative studies

The "Bio" page has a more discursive treatment.

Technical Traditions in Greece and Rome

The Harvard Department of Classics is hosting in 2017–18 (for the second year) a GSAS Research Workshop called "Technical Traditions in Greece and Rome: Between Theory and Practice." The workshop explores different branches of scientific and technical knowledge in the ancient Mediterranean, and occasionally also in the Levant and in China (despite the workshop title). Speakers and schedule will be available soon.
