Ray is a Classics and Comparative Literature major concentrating in Languages and Literature and Literary and Cultural Theory. When not wrangling with Greek or Latin syntax, his studies have included political theory and philosophy, intellectual history, and literary theory, along with a two-year stint as a linguistics major. His project, studying how the ideological and pedagogical responsibilities of the English schoolmaster dictated practices of reading and translation in the imperial 19th century, aims to inform some of his broader interests in reading, misreading, and rereading, along with questions concerning the historical roles and present relevance of the classics. Having spent his summer working with these texts as an undergraduate fellow at the Price Lab for the Digital Humanities, he is excited to spend this year as chair with such a remarkable group of fellows with such a diverse and promising set of projects.
