Dr. Kinkade is an Assistant Professor of Classics in the Department of World Languages. He received a B.A. in Classics and Classical Civilizations from Colby College in 2011, an M.A. in the Master of Arts Program in the Humanities from the University of Chicago in 2012, and received his PhD in 2021 from Duke University. His research interests include the reception of Greek tragedy, ancient Greek and Roman scholarship, and methods of ancient literary criticism. His first monograph project in particular examines how different scholarly camps coalesced around the three Greek tragedians and served as both bellwethers and transformers of their early receptions. His secondary interests include ancient biography and Greek comedy's use of tragedy.
He has taught courses on introductory Greek, Latin at various levels, Greek literature broadly, and Roman drama. He has a strong interest in exploring more active forms of pedagogy for ancient languages and participated in spoken programs in 2017 with Paideia’s Living Greek in Greece Program and in 2019 with the Conventiculum Dickinsoniense. Since 2017, he has also been co-editor of Photios On-Line, a project producing a decentralized, crowd-sourced translation of Photios’ Lexicon.
