Matt Panciera is an Associate Professor in the Department of Classical Studies at Gustavus Adolphus College, a liberal arts institution known for its strong humanities programs. He is actively engaged in teaching and research, with a focus on Latin literature, Roman culture, and pedagogy.
His educational background includes a B.A. in Latin from the University of Toronto (1989), followed by an M.A. (1993) and Ph.D. (2001) in Classics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to joining Gustavus, he taught at UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Greensboro, the College of Charleston, Hamilton College, and the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome.
Dr. Panciera's research centers on Roman literature and society, with particular interest in authors such as Plautus, Horace, Livy, and Martial, as well as Pompeian graffiti and Latin pedagogy. His work bridges philological analysis with cultural and social history, often exploring themes of sexuality, language, and performance in antiquity.
His publications and presentations reveal a consistent engagement with both scholarly and pedagogical communities. His recent and forthcoming articles in journals like Classical Philology and Classical Quarterly reflect deep philological inquiry, while his conference talks on teaching Latin through games and incorporating Pompeii into the curriculum highlight his innovative pedagogical approach.
