M. Catherine Bolton

My current and past research is on the Latin elegiac poet Ovid, specifically his series of letters written by abandoned heroines called the Heroides.  From strictly poetic interpretations of the letters, I have moved to investigating issues of gender and space in the single letters of the Heroides. 

I have taught at Concordia University since 1989.  I am currently the Associate Dean for Student Academic Services, Faculty of Arts and Science, with offices located on the Loyola Campus.  I have held this appointment since 2006.
