Dr. Broder's research interests include gender, sexuality, feminism, and queer theory in the context of ancient Greek and Roman literature. He is particularly interested in exploring the idea of a camp aesthetic at work in a broad range of ancient texts, many of which have traditionally been viewed as homophobic or misogynistic, such as the satires of Juvenal, the epigrams of Martial, or the poems of Catullus. Representative projects include “The Most Obscene Satires: A Queer/Camp Approach to Juvenal 2, 6, and 9" (forthcoming book chapter), “Tradition vs. Reception as Models for Studying the Great Books" (forthcoming journal article), and “Queer Camp and Classical Antiquity: The Case of Catullus 16" (Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide. Sep-Oct. 2011).
