Acosta-Hughes
Helena Goscilo
Professor Acosta-Hughes comes to us from the Classics Department of the University of Michigan at Ann-Arbor. He is a leading authority on Greek Hellenistic poetry, with two books on the subject, one published by the University of California Press in 2002 (Polyeideia: The Iambi of Callimachus and the Archaic Iambic Tradition) and one scheduled to appear from Princeton University Press in 2009 (Arion's Lyre: Archaic Lyric in Hellenistic Poetry).
Professor Goscilo joins us from the University of Pittsburgh, where she was Chair of the Slavic Department. She has written transformative research in several interdisciplinary fields, including work on Russian Women's Writing, Russian culture in the 1990s, Post-Soviet Cinema, and the preservation of St. Petersburg. Taken together, her scholarship on a vast area of cultural and literary topics has done nothing less than redefine the field of Slavic studies.
