Daniel M. Hooley, Professor of Classics
University of Missouri
1988 Ph.D., Classics
Currently I’m Professor of Classics at the
University of Missouri, where I came after
shorter stints at Carleton, Princeton, and
Allegheny. Here at Missouri, I’ve served as
chair and undergraduate director of the
department; the harder jobs I’ve left to my
superb colleagues. I’ve written three books,
Roman Satire (Blackwell Publishers, 2007), The
Knotted Thong: Structures of Mimesis in Persius
(Univ. of Michigan Press, 1997), and The
Classics in Paraphrase: Ezra Pound and Modern
Translators of Latin Poetry (Susquehanna Univ.
Press, 1988), and 25 or so articles and book
chapters on Roman poetry and translation
studies. A fourth book on the reception of
satire is in the hopper. From 1999-2006 I was
the editor of Classical and Modern Literature.
Mary and Matt (now a grad student at
Madison) thrive, while running and climbing
keep me from aging too fast, or so my delusory,
senescent imagination persuades me.
WHERE ARE THEY
NOW?

Tom Kohn, Assistant Professor
Wayne State University
2001 Ph.D., Classics
Since leaving the friendly confines of Folwell Hall, I have held a
number of 1- and 2-year positions. I’ve been at: the University of
California, Santa Barbara; Millsaps College (Jackson,
Mississippi), where I finished writing the dissertation; the
University of Mississippi; the University of Richmond; and the
University of North Carolina, Greensboro, where I got to work
with CNES alumnus Hugh Parker. Last year I began a tenuretrack
position at Wayne State University in Detroit. One of my
colleagues is Jennifer Sheridan Moss, who some of you may
remember taught a course in papyrology at CNES some years
ago. Things are going well, and I hope to be here for many years
to come. I’ve published about half a dozen articles, mainly on
Seneca and/or ancient theatre in general, and delivered a number
of APA and CAMWS papers. Currently, I’m working on a book
about stagecraft in Senecan drama; I’m hoping to get Kevin Kline
for the movie.
