Sarah Nooter is the Edward Olson Professor in the Department of Classics at the University of Chicago, with affiliations in Theater and Performance Studies, Gender Studies, and The College. Her research focuses on Greek tragedy, modern poetry, sound studies, and queer theory. She holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University (2008) and is based in Wieboldt Hall. Professor Nooter explores intersections between ancient texts and modern performance, particularly through the lens of voice, embodiment, and queer interpretations.
Her major works include When Heroes Sing (2012), The Mortal Voice in the Tragedies of Aeschylus (2017), and Greek Poetry in the Age of Ephemerality (2023). She co-edited Sound and the Ancient Senses (2019) and is currently working on How to Be Queer: An Ancient Guide to Sexuality (2024) and a volume on African drama and Greek tragedy. As Editor-in-Chief of Classical Philology, she has curated special issues on poetry, Athenian performance, and tragedy reconstruction.
Her research trends emphasize the materiality of sound in ancient texts and its modern resonances, alongside queer theoretical frameworks applied to classical narratives. She collaborates widely, co-editing Radical Formalisms (2024) with Mario Telò, and contributes to public-facing initiatives like Eidolon for graduate program guidance.
While no formal scientific awards are listed, her editorial work and interdisciplinary projects highlight her leadership in classical scholarship. Her advisement and grants are not detailed here, but her editorial roles and collaborative projects suggest active mentorship and institutional engagement.
