This homepage is not about my person, but about my research in linguistics and Greek and Roman literature. I have chosen to publish numerous articles, texts and translation produced in the time. The published material includes both rather technical studies (especially on linguistic issues) and more popular products.

research profile

I am an Associate Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Aarhus (at the Institute for Language, Literature and Culture).

Having completed my PhD thesis on the dialect of the Spartan lyric poet Alcman, I studied, in 2003-4, Herodotus’ description of the Scythians at the Danish Research Foundation’s Centre of Black Sea Studies.

Later, 2004-7, I was occupied, with a grant from the Carlsberg-Foundation, with a rhetorical-linguistic analysis of Roman epistolography at the Centre for Rhetoric at the University of Aarhus.

I am now studying the relationship between language history and identity and the description of it in modern scholarship; the project is part of the Copenhagen research programme The Roots of Europe - Language, Culture, and Migrations.
