Biography

Aidan studied Sociology and Philosophy at Swarthmore College before making the switch to Classics. He is interested in the historical treatment of the concept of 'freedom,' particularly in how modernity comes to see itself as rejecting ancient forms of liberty. He is also an avid speaker of Latin and Ancient Greek, and invites everyone to the newly formed Spoken Latin Club.
