About
I graduated from the University of Tartu in classical philology in 1997, received my M.A. degree in classical philology in 2000 and Ph.D. in 2007, both from the University of Tartu. My doctoral thesis is titled "Character description and invective: Peripatetics between ethics, comedy and rhetoric".
I have worked at the University of Tartu since 1997, at first as an Adjunct Assistant, in 1999-2001 as a Project Manager and since 2002 as a Research Fellow. Since 1 March 2008 I am a half-time Research Fellow at the Department of Classical Philology and a half-time extraordinary Senior Research Fellow at the Research Centre of Tartu University Library.
My research interests include the representation of ideologies, mentalities and social identities in antiquity, Peripatetic school and tradition, Greek comedy, Greek oratory and rhetoric, Latin epigram and satire, Greek and Latin epistolography, papyrology, classical tradition, history of classical studies, and digital classics.
I am also the managing editor of the peer-reviewed online journal of the humanities, "Studia Humaniora Tartuensia" (http://www.ut.ee/klassik/sht/ ).
