Hunter Gardner received her PhD in Classics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (2005). Her publications on Ovid and Catullus are readings inspired in part by Julia Kristeva’s concept of the semiotic chora and its applications to female subjectivity. She is an assistant professor in USC’s Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, and is also an affiliate of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program. Her book, Gendering Time in Augustan Love Elegy, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
