Classics Department - Faculty

Professor Jaeger received her Ph.D. in Classics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1990, her M.A. in 1984 from UC Berkeley, and her B.A. in 1982 from Gustavus Adolphus College. Professor Jaeger chose an academic career in Classics because she loves Latin. She has been at the University of Oregon since 1990, with the exception of a post-doctoral year at Harvard (1993-4), and enjoys teaching both Latin and Greek, as well as lecture courses on epic, gender and sexuality in the ancient world, and topics in Roman culture.

Professor Jaeger is interested in the stories that Romans told about their past and the monuments that preserved that past. She is the author of Livy’s Written Rome (Ann Arbor 1997) a study of the historian’s rhetorical use of the urban landscape. More recent publications include: “Cicero and Archimedes’ Tomb”, Journal of Roman Studies 92 (2002) 49-61; “Vergil and the Monuments” in W.S. Anderson and L.N. Quarterone, eds., Approaches to Teaching Vergil’s Aeneid, Modern Language Association, (2002); and “Livy and the Siege of Syracuse.” In Eigler, Ulrich et al., Formen romischer Geschichtsschreibung von den Anfangen bis Livius (2003).
