Amy Pistone

Welcome! Since 2019, I have been an assistant professor at Gonzaga University. This site  has information about my teaching and research (links at the bottom will point you in those directions), and my curriculum vitae is available here. Primarily, though, this is a place for me to spotlight my own adventures in pedagogy and talk through issues that I’m wrestling with. You can find most of that over on my blog, as well as on Twitter, where I tweet actively as @apistone.

I am very interested in pedagogy as well as promoting equity and fighting racism and sexism in the field of classics. This interest has led me to organize and participate in a range of workshops, roundtables, and panels focused on more inclusive teaching practices and how to improve the materials we use in the classroom. I served for 4 years as the Graduate Liaison for the Women’s Classical Caucus before moving into a role on the steering committee, as the social media coordinator, and I am currently a co-chair of the Classics and Social Justice group.

My main research explores the question of tragedy’s interaction with 5th-century Athenian society. My latest work expands on my earlier research on the misunderstanding of oracular or prophetic speech in Sophoclean tragedy, approaching these questions using pragmatic linguistic theories.

My other interests include Greek tragedy more broadly, feminist theory, pedagogy, and reception. I have also delivered papers on the skolion game, gendered modes of prophecy in tragedy, and on receptions of classical literature in modern society.
