Faculty Member, German and Romance Languages and Literatures
About
I am a historian and Latinist who works on European intellectual history. I hold two doctoral degrees, a PhD in History (Duke University, 1995) and a DrPhil in Classics and Neo-Latin Literature (University of Hamburg, 2001), as well as a BA (1988) and MA (1989) in History from SUNY-Albany.
My areas of interest include: the Latin literature and philosophy of the Italian Renaissance; late medieval intellectual history; the history of philosophy; the history of books and reading practices; and Latin paleography.
I am a professor in the Department of German and Romance Languages and Literatures at Johns Hopkins University, where I have been since 2005. Before that I taught for nine years in the History Department at Michigan State University. At Johns Hopkins University I hold secondary appointments in the History Department, the Department of Classics, and the Humanities Center.
I direct the Singleton Center for the Study of Pre-Modern Europe at Johns Hopkins University. Our website is: krieger.jhu.edu/singleton
