Linda Rabieh, a Senior Lecturer in Concourse, received her Ph.D. in political philosophy from the University of Toronto. Having previously taught at Colorado College and Tufts University, she joined the Concourse faculty in 2010. She is the author of Plato and the Virtue of Courage (2006), which won the Delba Winthrop Mansfield prize for excellence in political science, and of numerous articles that explore the political thought of ancient and medieval thinkers, including Thucydides, Plato, Maimonides, and Averroes. She has also been the recipient of an National Endowment of Humanities Independent Scholar Fellowship. For the past six years, Linda has been a co-director of the joint History/Concourse IAP in Ancient Greece and IAP in Ancient and Medieval Italy trips. Her research and teaching interests involve ancient and medieval treatments of ethics in war, the role of women in ancient thought, and the ancient Greek inquiry into the extent and limits of knowledge. She loves to discuss movies, books, politics—really pretty much anything, and she will almost never say no to coffee, olives, or dancing. She is an adopted and devoted Cantabrigian, where she lives with her husband and their two kids.
