Classics Department - Faculty

Professor Eckerman received his PhD in Classics from UCLA in 2007, his MA in Classics from UCLA in 2002, and his BA in Classics and Economics from UC Davis in 2000. Professor Eckerman unknowingly became a Classicist in high school when he fell in love with ancient Greek language and literature; in college, he added Latin to his list of loves. He taught at UCLA for one year before coming to Eugene. At the University of Oregon, Professor Eckerman teaches courses on a broad range of topics from epic poetry and tragedy to ancient Greek athletics and religion.

Professor Eckerman is interested broadly in Greek literary and cultural studies as well as contemporary literary, cultural, and geographic theory. His research interests, interdisciplinary in nature, include literary texts, historical places, and ways of thinking about the relationship between literature and landscape. He is currently writing a book on epinician poetry and Panhellenic sanctuaries and has published articles on Greek epigraphy and lyric poetry.
