Today we continue highlighting some of our Columbanus Fellows, demonstrating the quality of our endeavors! These fellows are engaged in a rigorous and deep inquiry into the Western intellectual tradition, seeking both to retrieve lost wisdom and to further its presence in our society today.
Joshua A. Streeter is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts at the Ohio State University in Columbus. He received his M.A. in Theatre from OSU and his B.A. in Theatre with Secondary English Education Licensure from Adams State University in Colorado. Josh’s dissertation (which he is defending or will have defended soon) traces the creative interventions used by theater artists and classics scholars to restore, reconstruct, and reseed the fragments of Greek comedy and satyr play for performance. His academic and artistic expertise includes premodern theater (particularly that of Classical Athens), translation and adaptation, the reception of the ancient world, and pedagogy.
Josh’s interests in the Lyceum Institute lie in the classical languages of Greek and Latin, the historical foundations of higher education, and the position of theater within the intellectual tradition. As a Columbanus Fellow, Josh is delighted to learn alongside his colleagues to remediate the gaps in his own knowledge and to put the scholē, “leisure,” back into scholarship.
If you are at all able, please make a small donation to support Joshua and the rest of the Fellows in their dedication and desire to learn and share their knowledge with the rest of the world.
