Tina Passman
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Tina Passman is an American classical scholar, who is Emeritus Associate Professor of Classical Language and Literature at the University of Maine.[1] Alongside David Halperin, Passman was one of the first co-chairs of the Lesbian and Gay Classical Caucus, now Lambda Classical Caucus, which was founded in 1989.[2] She studied for her BA, MA and PhD in Classics at the University of Iowa.[1] Her research interests include women in the ancient world, multiculturalism, community building and inclusion.[1][3] She pioneered online teaching and the adoption of universal design in her field.[4]
Passman has voiced interpretations that recognized a "patriarchal voice" in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter.[5] In 1993 her article "Out of the Closet and into the Field: Matriculture, the Lesbian Perspective, and Feminist Classics" was published which discussed the neglect of America's first woman classicist, Jane Harrison, and tied that neglect to an unpopularity of lesbian perspectives in the field.[6][7] However, her perspectives on both matriarchy and Jane Harrison were challenged in by Simon Goldhill who described her views as "uncritical".[8]
