He has written five novels and seven edited volumes . He is the recipient of several fellow- ships, including LSA's Arts Excel- lence in Education Award and Arts John Dewey Award, both of which he received in 2013. What is Papyrology? Papyrology is the field of scholarship that studies the papyri from Egypt and I study those papyri in ancient Greek. I also try to read those documents and try to understand them and make them available to other scholars. What classes do you teach? exciting adaptions of whatever text is out there. I teach a mixture of ancient Greek classes from both the beginning levels to the upper level undergraduate classes. I teach a lot of classical civiliza- tion classes-Greek mythology, Roman sports and a Cleopatra class-and then some graduate seminars about papyrology. Howdoyou structure your classes? In my classical civilization classes I can take a source, an ancientsource, in translation and throw it in front of the group and get these wonderful, new and What made you want to study this field? I wanted to study this field because it's a very direct way of looking into the ancient world. It's like looking over the shoul- ders of people form 2,000 years ago. I'm opening letters that peo- ple wrote 2,000 years ago and they were not expecting scholars like me to be opening these let- ters to try to understand what was happening in the ancient world. - MAXERADWIN Newsroom 734-418-4115sopt.3 Corrections corrections@ichigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaiy.com Display Sales dailydisplay@gmail.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letes tnthe Editnn tothedity@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com ADAM GLANZMAN/Daily Chinese poet Yang Lion reads poems from his new book in the UMMA Monday.

University alum wins Pulitzer Henderson, 1988 alum, wins honor for commentary DETROIT (AP) - Detroit Free Press columnist Stephen Hen- derson, who has been willing to criticize powerful interests to defend average citizens of the troubled city, was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his commen- tary on the city's financial crisis, it was announced Monday. The Pulitzers are given out each year by Columbia University in New York on the recommendation of a board of journalists and others. In their announcement of the award for commentary, prize orga- nizers said that the Detroit native's columns on Detroit's bankruptcy were "written with passion and a stirring sense of place, sparing no one intheir critique." The city of 700,000 is operat- ing under a state-appointed emer- gency manager and struggling to provide some basic services as it goes through federal bankruptcy proceedings to reduce $18 billion in debt. Detroit has lost L1 million residents since the1950s and much of its taxbase. Paul Anger, the Free Press' editor and publisher, said Hen- derson has brought a mixture of eloquence, wisdom and heart to hisjob asthenewspaper'seditorial director and editorial page editor since 2008. 4 I I
