Kathleen Kidder, Ph.D.

Visiting Assistant Professor
Department of Languages Literatures and Cultures

Dr. Kathleen Kidder specializes in Hellenistic poetry. She received a BA from the University of Texas at Austin (2011) and a PhD from the University of Cincinnati (2018). Before coming to Seton Hall in Fall 2024, she taught ancient languages and Classical culture courses at the College of William and Mary, the University of Houston, and Wayne State University.

Her recently published monograph Criteria of Truth: Representations of Truth and Falsehood in Hellenistic Poetry (Center for Hellenic Studies 2023) analyzes how five Hellenistic poets (Aratus, Nicander, Callimachus, Apollonius of Rhodes, and Lycophron) represent the processes of assessing truth and falsehood. She has also published articles on the Sirens, Helen of Troy, Demeter, and Proteus. Currently, she is exploring depictions of geographic and architectural space in Lycophron’s Alexandra.
