Assistant Professor of Classical Studies
Dr. Pappas came to the University of Arkansas in the fall of 2006 after receiving her PhD in Classics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2004) and holding a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Penn Humanities Forum at the University of Pennsylvania (2005-6). She loves the wide variety of teaching that Classics affords, and here she teaches Greek and Latin at all levels, as well as ancient art and archaeology. She especially enjoys introducing University of Arkansas students to the wonderful collection of classical antiquities on our campus. Her range of classes in both literary and material culture reflects her research interests: Dr. Pappas is particularly excited about Greek contexts in which word and image interact in interesting ways. She has published on early Greek pots decorated with curious types of inscriptions (Cambridge, 2007) and has had a volume chapter accepted for publication that reads an inscribed drinking cup closely with passages from Plato and Theocritus to explain the anomalies of the cup’s inscription (Leiden, forthcoming). She is currently working on an article about the “staging” of the Greek alphabet in the theater of democratic Athens and she continues work on her book, Graphic Art: Alphabetic Images in Ancient Greece.
