Sensu Lato: Interview Series with Andrea Kouklanakis
Dr. Andrea Kouklanakis is an Associate Professor of Classics at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She earned a PhD in Classical Philology from Harvard University. She is the author of Blemished Kings: Suitors in the Odyssey, Blame Poetics, and Irish Satire. She joined the Executive Committee of Eos in 2026.
Sensu Lato is a series of interviews that shines a light on scholarly contributions to studies of Classica Africana that originate in Latin America. Brazil is home to the largest population of African descendants outside of the continent itself. As such it is the perfect starting point for launching conversations about Afro-diasporic and Afro-connected perspectives on the ancient Mediterranean world. I hope that these conversations will help us as members of the society consider the epistemological and pedagogical possibilities that emerge from perspectives outside of Anglophone North America.
