Felicia Kang is Chair of the History Department at Spence School, and former Chair of the History Department at Saint Ann’s School where she taught history for over twenty years. She teaches a wide range of topics including a middle school course on Ancient History in which her students delve into a reading of Homer. At the high school level, she teaches American History as well as electives on the Cold War, Modern East Asia, and a political theory course, Democracy and Dictatorship, in which her students closely read the works of many Greek philosophers and dramatists such as Plato, Aristotle, and Sophocles. Felicia received her B.A. in political science from Barnard College and her MSc in International History from the London School of Economics. Both her undergraduate and master’s theses focused on collective political thought and its influences on communism. This will be Felicia’s third year teaching for Calder Classics, and she is looking forward to bringing the words of ancient theorists alive while on-site in Greece!
