Amy Koenig’s research concentrates on Greek and Latin literature of the Roman Empire. She is the author of The Fractured Voice: Silence and Power in Imperial Roman Literature (University of Wisconsin Press, 2024), a study of literary depictions of muteness and silencing in the Roman Empire, illuminating ways in which voicelessness enables a paradoxical kind of liberation in these texts. She has also published work on the ancient novel and the poetry of Ovid, completed a number of dictionary entries in Latin, and edited Greek papyrus texts from the Oxyrhynchus collection at the University of Oxford, where she earned a Master of Studies degree in 2010. Before joining the faculty on the tenure track in 2021, Koenig served as a visiting faculty member at the University of Miami and at 麻豆国产AV; from 2020-21, she held the SCS/NEH Postdoctoral Fellowship in Latin lexicography at the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae in Munich.
