Princeton Classics

We're proud to congratulate Prof. Jesse Lundquist on receiving the Arthur H. Scribner Bicentennial Preceptorship! This year, Lundquist is one of only five professors appointed as Bicentennial Preceptor, who serve a three-year term including a full year of research leave.

“I deeply appreciate this praeceptorship since it guarantees the chance to work and publish more especially in these critical pre-tenure years," said Prof. Lundquist. "This is the kind of opportunity that makes Princeton so great a place to work at.”

We are proud to share that Brooke Holmes, Susan Dod Brown Professor of Classics, has been named of the Humanities Council's 2026–27 Old Dominion Research Professors!

During her professorship, Holmes will develop a research project titled "An Archive of Knots," which traces the diasporic development of ancient sympathy (sumpatheia) in the early Afro-Eurasian world. She will also advance work on a book project that explores how modern appeals to ancient Greek ideas about life and nature have shaped secular ethics over the past two centuries.

Congratulations, Prof. Holmes!
