Elizabeth Gloyn is a Reader in Latin Language and Literature at the Department of Classics, Royal Holloway, University of London. She is affiliated with the Gender Institute, Centre for the Reception of Greece and Rome, and Centre for the Study and Application of Stoicism. Her research intersects Latin literature, ancient philosophy (particularly Stoicism), and gender studies, with a focus on Seneca the Younger and classical reception in modern media. She has published books on Seneca and family dynamics (2017) and classical monsters in popular culture (2019). Her current project explores Stoicism and family themes in Seneca’s tragedies.
Her teaching includes courses on imperial Roman literature and contemporary approaches to Latin literature. She has contributed to public outreach through media appearances (radio, TV, podcasts) and writing for outlets like Times Higher Education and History Today. She served on the Institute of Classical Studies Advisory Council (2019–2022), The Classical Association Council (2017–2022), and The Women's Classical Committee (2015–2022).
Her research trends emphasize innovative interdisciplinary approaches, combining feminist theory with classical texts and analyzing classical themes in modern contexts. Key themes include the role of family in Stoic philosophy, postcolonial readings of Roman literature, and the portrayal of classical monsters in fan fiction and film. She has collaborated on projects such as the Family Archive Project (2014–2015) and the MINOTAUR Project (2025).
Her grants and advising include a focus on supervising topics related to Seneca, Roman Stoicism, and classical reception. She has temporarily suspended PhD sponsorship but remains active in mentoring through her courses and workshops.
