Megan Bowler is a Lecturer in Classics at the University of Oxford, holding positions as a Non-Stipendiary Lecturer at Oriel College and a Greek Language tutor at the Faculty of Classics. She holds a DPhil in Classical Languages and Literature from Oxford, focusing on 'Etymological Thought in Greek Comedy.'
Her research examines how 5th-4th century BCE Greek Comedy engaged with contemporary etymological ideas, analyzing wordplay and referentiality in Aristophanes' works and Sicilian fragments. This work bridges ancient literature with early scholarly discourse, rhetoric, and philosophy. She also explores political theory in Comedy and the educational value of Classics, emphasizing language-learning methodologies.
Bowler's interests span interdisciplinary connections between comedy and other genres/fields, including early philosophical thought and tragedy. She advocates for Classics' role in modern education systems through her teaching and publications on language policy debates.
