Dr. Frances Bernstein earned her B.A. in Classics from the University of Chicago and her Ph.D. in Classics from Princeton University, where she completed a dissertation examining the relationship between physical boundaries, interpretive limits, and poetic power in Vergil’s Georgics and Aeneid. Frances currently teaches middle and upper school Latin and ancient Greek at Riverdale Country School and enjoys encouraging students to think critically about the Classics from beginning language classes through advanced reading courses on Euripides’ Medea or Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Outside of the classroom, Frances can be found running, playing piano, or perfecting her coffee-making routine.
