Rebecca Deitsch

Rebecca Deitsch teaches Latin and Greek as well as courses on a variety of topics related to epic poetry, classical mythology, and gender in the ancient world. Her current book project examines how gender, divinity, and politics intersect to shape the characterization of goddesses in the epic poetry and coinage of the Flavian period (69-96 C.E.). Deitsch is passionate about language pedagogy and making ancient languages accessible in the college classroom and to the general public. She runs a popular website for Latin learners and an accompanying Instagram account, Latin with Livia. In her spare time, you can find her practicing Slavic languages, reading fantasy novels, and trying to cook Peruvian food.
