Profile
Hello! My name is Dr. Sulochana R. Asirvatham (asirvathas@montclair.edu). I received my PhD from Columbia University in Classics (ancient Greek and Latin language and literature) in 2000 and have taught at MSU full-time since 2002. My research specialty is Greek historiography--that is, the study of not only "what happened" in Greek history but also how ancient writers chose to present their past--and more specifically the early historiography of Alexander the Great, the extant examples of which were produced by Greek writers living in the Roman empire. I also love teaching Latin and Greek--as far as I'm concerned, there is no better way of building general language and writing skills as well as building vocabulary in English as well as numerous other languages-- and have taught one or both pretty much every year at the Beginning to Advanced level since I arrived at MSU.
