Profile
Frances Titchener has taught at USU since 1987. She co-directs the Classics program in which she teaches all levels of Latin and Greek language, as well as history courses on Ancient Greece and Rome, Celtic Europe, and Ancient Western Civilization. She was named the Teacher of the Year for the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences for 1994. In 1995 she was selected the CASE Professor of the Year for the State of Utah by the Carnegie Foundation, and she received the national Teaching Excellence Award (college or university level) from the American Philological Society in 1999.
While finishing her Ph.D. at The University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Titchener became interested in the politics of 5th century (BCE) Athens, and she chose for her dissertation topic a commentary on Plutarch's biography of Nicias, one of the important political figures of the day. She was attracted by the broad range of sources such a project involved and the complexity of the biographical genre. Her research still tends to focus on issues of structure and methodology in the writings of ancient historians and biographers, particularly those of Plutarch. In 1984, she joined the International Plutarch Society and became the society's international coordinator and editor of the journal Ploutarchos in 1987.
