Kallendorf elected VP of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies

Craig Kallendorf, professor of English and classics, was elected vice president of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) through 2012 when he will succeed to president until 2015.

Founded in August 1971, the IANLS is a cross-disciplinary international association that is different than classical Latin associations in its devotion to advancing Latin as a living discipline. The IANLS holds congresses every three years, uniting scholars from Europe and the Americas who represent such diverse disciplines as literature, history, science, art, philosophy, law and theology.

Kallendorf also holds the offices of vice president to succeed the president of the Vergilian Society and chair of publications and executive board member of the Renaissance Society of America.

Kallendorf earned his B.A. in English and Classics with highest honors from Valparaiso University, and his M.A. and Ph.D. in comparative literature from the University of North Carolina. He is the author of The Other Virgil: Pessimistic Reading of the Aeneid in Early Modern Culture (Oxford University Press, 2007), Virgil and the Myth of Venice: Books and Readers in the Italian Renaissance (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1999), and In Praise of Aeneas: Virgil and Epideictic Rhetoric in the Early Italian Renaissance (Hanover, NH: University Press of New England, 1989). Kallendorf currently holds a College of Liberal Arts Cornerstone Faculty Fellowship.
