Alexander Sens is an American professor of classics at Georgetown University, where he is the Markos and Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis Chair of Hellenic Studies. Sens is a specialist in post-classical literature, especially epigram.[1][2] His research has revealed the literary merit of often-neglected authors such as Matro of Pitane and Lycophron.[3]

Early life and education

He was born in Boston, Massachusetts on 28 September 1964. He has one brother. He attended public elementary and high school in Brookline, Massachusetts.[4] He earned a B.A. at Brown University in 1986, and an MA (1988) and PhD (1991) at Harvard University.[5]

Academic career

Prior to his current post he was the Joseph Durkin SJ Professor of Classics, a chair named for a noted Georgetown historian.[6] Sens recently served first as Interim Dean and then Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences from 2020-2026, following Norberto Grzywacz.[7] Sens was also the interim vice president for graduate studies from 2025-26.[8] Under his leadership Georgetown completed a four-year process of reforming its structures for graduate education, making Sens the last dean of the old structure.
