About
Taylor received her BA with Honors from Gonzaga University in Classical Civilizations with a Latin Languages and Authors concentration and minors in Philosophy and English. She most recently completed the Bridge MA in Classical Studies here at UM. Her senior thesis for her major centered on the treatment of Emperor Hadrian's lover, Antinous, and his deification and treatment as a god and hero in antiquity. She expanded on this for her honors thesis by looking at later reception of Antinous. Researching Antinous' small but significant role in the early days of the establish of homosexuality as an identity has geared her interests towards sex, gender and sexuality in the ancient world, and her studies at UM have added an even greater interest in reception.
