Sara H. Lindheim is a Professor of Classics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She holds an undergraduate degree from Amherst College and a graduate degree from Brown University. Her research focuses on Latin poetry of the Augustan Age, particularly through lenses of gender, psychoanalysis, and queer theory. She has authored seminal works such as Mail and Female: Epistolary Narrative and Desire in Ovid’s Heroides and Latin Elegy and the Space of Empire, and co-edited The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory.
Her scholarly interests include the intersection of ancient literature with contemporary theory, spatial analysis in Roman poetry, and the representation of desire in elegiac traditions. Lindheim’s recent work explores queer temporalities and Lacanian psychoanalysis in Roman elegy. She actively supervises graduate students in areas like gender studies, queer theory, and empire studies in classical texts.
Her publications span articles on Catullus, Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid, with a focus on themes of identity, space, and desire. She has contributed to journals such as American Journal of Philology and Ramus, and co-edited special issues on Homer and classical reception.
