Christopher B. Krebs studied classics and philosophy in Berlin, Kiel (1. Staatsexamen 2000, Ph.D. 2003), and Oxford (M.St. 2002). Prior to his appointment to assistant professor in 2004, he was a member of imaginatio borealis, an interdisciplinary research project at Kiel, and a lecturer at University College, Oxford. He served as Director of Undergraduate Studies from 2005 to 2007. In the spring of 2007 he was the professeur invité at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris. In 2008 he received the APA Thesaurus Linguae Latinae fellowship for Munich.
He has published a monograph on Tacitus' Germania and its reception in the 15th century ("Negotiatio Germaniae: Tacitus' Germania und Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Giannantonio Campano, Conrad Celtis und Heinrich Bebel"), and is currently finishing a broader study of its reception from the 15th to the 20th century (W.W. Norton 2009). Other long-term projects and interests focus on Caesar and Sallust in particular, Greek and Roman historiography in general, and Classical Traditions, on all of which he has written articles. Prof. Krebs has organized and chairs with Christopher Johnson a seminar on Classical Traditions at the Humanities Center. He co-organized with Jonas Grethlein, of the University of Heidelberg, a conference, entitled "The historians' 'Plupast.' Embedded images of the Past in Greek and Roman Historiography," in 2006. From 2005 to 2007 he ran a graduate workshop with Nino Luraghi: "The edifice of history." His teaching interests overlap with his research, but also cover Latin and Greek language, Roman satire and epistolography. Recently taught courses include Greek A/B, Latin A/B, Class 97b: Introduction to Roman Culture and Civilization, Catullus, Roman historiography, Latin prose composition (introductory and advanced), Roman Satire, and Lat. 112a: History of Latin Literature. He has received several teaching awards. He used to row, but finding himself on the Isis at 6 o'clock one morning in November reminded him of other -- more conveniently-timed -- sports, some of which he now enjoys doing.
