Career

Gesine Manuwald studied Classics and English at the University of Freiburg, with a year as an affiliate student at UCL.[1] She was awarded the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis in 2001 for work on classical philology.[2][3] From there she did her Ph.D. on Valerius Flaccus and a post-doctoral habilitation on the Roman dramatic genre fabula praetexta. During this time she also worked on a research project on Roman tragedy, which then led to a five-year research fellowship in which she was able to produce her commentary of Cicero's Philippics 3–9 (2007).[1]

In 2007, Gesine Manuwald joined the UCL Department of Greek and Latin.[1] She became a member of the Academia Europaea in 2014.[4]
