For him, lecturing is a form of live theatre in which he tries to elicit from the students an emotional response to the subject, as a conduit to a deeper intellectual engagement. The theatre space (i.e., the classroom) serves as a crucible for shaping a symbiotic relationship between students and instructor.<\/p>\n<p>Whether teaching Latin and Greek languages or their civilizations, Josh attempts to show how the Greeks and Romans provide useful counter-models for examining and understanding more critically many modern cultural assumptions (linguistic, religious, political, sexual, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Since 2002\u00a0Josh has directed students in dramatic presentations of Greek tragedy.\u00a0 His most recent publication is the book\u00a0<em>Sophocles and the Tragedy of Athenian Democracy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>Research Interests<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Greek tragic theatre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Publications<\/h3>\n<p><em>Sophocles and the Tragedy of Athenian Democracy<\/em>.
