Christian Flow

Christian Flow is currently a doctoral student in history at Princeton University, studying early modern Europe. Once he has learned more, he hopes to focus his research on textual and classical scholarship and its relationship to the emergence of “scientific” thought and investigation; he is also interested specifically in the history of Latin dictionaries, which were the subject of his undergraduate thesis. From a library cubicle, he looks back fondly on less sedentary days reporting and writing for The Crimson and at Harvard Magazine.
