Carolin Hahnemann came to Kenyon College in 1998, after serving as a visiting assistant professor at Bard College, New York, for two years. A regular instructor of Elementary Greek, she takes turns with her colleagues offering courses in intermediate and advanced Greek and Latin as well as a spectrum of courses on ancient literature, history, and mythology. Hahnemann's research centers on the fragmentary tragedies of Aeschylus and Sophocles. She has published articles in this area, but her interests range from the linguistic phenomenon of the dual to the social implications of laughter in Plato's dialogues. In 2000 she received the Junior Trustee Award for Teaching Excellence.
