Associate Professor

Ancient Greek Drama; Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry; Reception of Greek drama in postcolonial and global contexts; Engagements with Greco-Roman antiquity across the Americas

Rosa Andújar’s research addresses ancient Greek drama and its modern global reception, particularly across the Americas. She is the author of Playing the Chorus in Greek Tragedy (Cambridge, 2025) and the editor of The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro (Methuen Drama, 2020), which won the 2020 London Hellenic Prize. She has also co-edited Greeks and Romans on the Latin American Stage (Bloomsbury, 2020), Paths of Song: The Lyric Dimension of Greek Tragedy (De Gruyter, 2018), and The Cambridge Companion to Classics and Race (Cambridge, 2026). She is currently completing a second monograph entitled Tragedy and Revolución: Ancient Greek Drama as Political Theater in the Hispanic Caribbean, which is under contract with Yale University Press. Many of the plays which she examines in this new book project can be found in her forthcoming co-edited edition La Puerta Electra/The Electra Door: A Bilingual Anthology of Cuban Rewritings of Greek Tragedy (Routledge, 2026).
