#  Biography 

 



 Keating is a writer with interests that span the contemporary and ancient worlds. He is a Preceptor in Expository Writing and a Faculty Associate of the Harvard Writing Project.

 Originally from West Hartford, Connecticut, Keating completed his undergraduate studies at Columbia and Cambridge and holds a PhD in Classical Philology from Harvard. He is especially interested in the manifestations and receptions of autocracy and his current research projects approach these concepts from two perspectives: the first probes the role of nostalgia in fifth-century BCE Athenian constructions of autocracy, while the second explores how epic models for rulership are mediated through the act of Homeric quotation in Greco-Roman antiquity.

 Keating is also an outdoorsman and an exhibited photographer. A selection of his images may be seen at [kveldulf.com](http://www.kveldulf.com/). Keating recently had a piece from his series *Fabrications* on display in Harvard's Smith Campus Center.
