Dr. Laura De Lozier looks forward to helping you develop stronger communication skills and global pastmindedness as your Magistra or Didaskalos in Latin and Classics courses. Her research interests include the reception of Greeks and Romans in cinema and theater.
Dr. De Lozier is a four-time recipient of the UW Promoting Intellectual Engagement Award (2023, 2018, 2016, 2015) and a 2022 recipient of the Extraordinary Merit in Teaching Award from the College of Arts & Sciences. She is the adaptor and director of the 2022 reading of The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity at the UW Art Museum, a community engagement event by the UW Latin students with a translation by Ian Bitzes and John Eleshuk from LATN 3990 Passio Perpetuae et Felicitatis. Dr. De Lozier is also the adaptor and producer of the 2021 Zoom production of Aristophanes’ Wasps with Laramie-based Relative Theatrics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5l9G210yRs). During the 2020 pandemic, Dr. De Lozier partnered with Relative Theatrics as dramaturg and discussion facilitator for the international project Reading Greek Tragedy Online, organized by Paul O’Mahony (Out of Chaos Theatre) and Joel Christensen (Brandeis University) under the aegis of London-based Out of Chaos Theatre, Harvard University’s Center for Hellenic Studies, and the Kosmos Society.
Please note that Greek and Roman materials may contain triggers due to explicit discussions of the sexual, physical, and psychological violence in Greek and Roman lives.
