Leila Williamson is working on the FWO-funded PhD project 'Coming After: Late Antique Ecopoetics', under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Marco Formisano (Ghent University). This project seeks to apply ecocritical approaches to the study of late antique Latin literature, focussing on themes such as landscape, things, and sound.
Prior to starting at the University of Ghent, Leila obtained a Master of Studies in Greek and Latin Languages and Literature from the University of Oxford (2022), where she focussed on the reception of Ovid's Heroides in the work of the 6th-century poet Venantius Fortunatus. Before this, she obtained her bachelor's degree with honours in Arts, majoring in Latin, from the University of Sydney (2018).
