Frederic Clark serves as Associate Professor of Classics and English at the University of Southern California's Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, specializing in the cultural transmission of classical antiquity through medieval and early modern Europe. His research interrogates how ancient texts shaped humanistic scholarship, evidenced by his monograph The First Pagan Historian (Oxford, 2020) and forthcoming work on historical periodization. Clark's academic foundation includes: Ph.D. in History, Princeton University (2014) M.Phil. in Medieval History, University of Cambridge (2009) B.A. in History and Literature, Harvard University (2008) He completed postdoctoral training as Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at Rice University (2017-2018), Visiting Assistant Professor at NYU's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (2015-2017), and Mellon Fellow at Stanford University (2014-2015). His intellectual inquiry spans classical reception, Latin literature's afterlife, late antiquity, and Renaissance humanism, with particular focus on textual authenticity, historical periodization, and the construction of scholarly canons. Clark examines how forgeries like Dares Phrygius' Trojan War narrative catalyzed debates about history versus fiction across a millennium of scholarship. Analysis of Clark's publications (2010-2022) reveals consistent investigation into the mechanics of historical consciousness: how early modern scholars demarcated antiquity from the Middle Ages, reconstructed lost classical works, and navigated tensions between philological rigor and imaginative reconstruction. His work demonstrates how medieval genealogies and Renaissance antiquarianism actively shaped modern historical methodologies. Clark's scholarly recognition includes: Faculty Fellow, USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute (Spring 2023) External Faculty Fellow, Stanford Humanities Center (2020-2021) While his current advising activities remain unspecified, Clark's collaborative research—exemplified by the multi-author study of Winthrop family reading practices—highlights his engagement with collective scholarly enterprises.

Joseph Metz is an Associate Professor in the Department of World Languages and Cultures within the College of Humanities at the University of Utah, where he has held continuous faculty appointments since 1999. He earned his PhD in Germanic Languages and Literatures from Harvard University in 1999, progressing from Instructor (1999) to Assistant Professor (1999-2006) before attaining his current rank in 2006. His research centers on German literary theory with emphases on postcolonial discourse, Jewish studies, and aesthetics. Metz examines colonial dynamics within Habsburg and German contexts, Jewish identity formation in Central European literature, and gendered constructions of the body in canonical authors like Rilke, Stifter, and Kafka. His methodology frequently intersects Marxist theory, semiotics, and critical race studies to dissect power structures embedded in 19th-20th century Germanic texts. Metz's publications reveal consistent engagement with literary form as political expression. His monograph The Feeling of the Form (2025) synthesizes empathy studies with aesthetic philosophy across Büchner to Rilke, while earlier articles demonstrate how texts like Stifter's Die Narrenburg expose 'inner colonialism' in the Habsburg Empire and how Kafka's Der Verschollene navigates cultural Zionism through diasporic doubles. His work consistently reveals how literary form mediates historical trauma and identity politics. Post-Tenure Research Assignment (College of Humanities, 2013) Metz actively contributes to institutional service including organizing the Faculty Learning Community on Empathy (2014), which brought together University of Utah and Salt Lake City community members to develop empathy-focused projects. His teaching portfolio demonstrates deep engagement with German studies, regularly offering courses including German language instruction, Literary Theory, Great Books, and Special Topics seminars focused on comparative thinking and contemporary criticism. His scholarly trajectory reflects sustained commitment to uncovering how Germanic literature negotiates cultural trauma, colonial legacies, and identity formation.
