Assistant Professor Andres’s research ranges widely over ancient and modern literature, centering on questions of time, nature and authorship. Both his dissertation (UCLA, 2020) and his current monograph-project, Dreams of Brutus: Cicero and Freud on Mind and Text, deal with the relationship between psychological experience and writing, using comparative methodologies and an interpretative focus on form. In addition to Cicero and Freud, Andres publishes and presents research on Roman agricultural writing and its connections to ecology, economics and aesthetics. Andres teaches courses in Latin and ancient Greek, comparative literature and thought, as well as on the influences of ancient Mediterranean cultures in other periods and places. He is the instructor for UGA in Rome, a summer study abroad program that visits Greece and Italy.
