Dr. Yumna Khan was awarded her Ph.D. in Classics by the University of London in 2002. Her principal areas of research are Hellenistic poetry and Greek literature of the Roman Empire, but her interests include Greek and Latin poetry of all periods, geography in antiquity, and issues of identity in the Greco-Roman world. She has published pieces on Hellenistic poetry and its influence in the Revue des Études Anciennes and the Classical Review. Her doctoral thesis, a commentary on Dionysius the Periegete's Guide to the Inhabited World, is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.

She has taught a wide range of courses in Greek and Latin language and literature at Birkbeck College London, King's College London, and Boston University. At Brandeis she has been a (Visiting) Lecturer in Classical Studies, teaching "Continuing Latin" in Spring 2005, and "Continuing Ancient Greek" in Fall 2006.
