Clare came to Brown in 2020, after receiving her BA with a double major in Classics and Comparative Literature from The University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on representations of raced and gendered social marginality in Greek fiction written under the Roman Empire. She has a secondary interest in moments of Classical Reception in Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa. These two projects are conceptually united by the common threads of identity and empire. 

Clare is also pursuing Brown’s graduate certificate in Gender and Sexuality Studies through the Pembroke Center. In her free time, she enjoys hiking and exploring New England.
