Malina Buturović

Malina Ćirić Buturović received her PhD in Classics and Interdisciplinary Humanities from Princeton in 2023. During the academic year 2023-2024 she is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department Classics; she will be an Assistant Professor beginning in July 2024. She is currently at work on a monograph entitled, The Transmission of Fault: Heredity Between Medicine and Theology, which explores the entanglement between medical theories of heredity and theological theories of ancestral fault, focusing especially on Galen and Plutarch. Outside of the monograph project, she has interests in Graeco-Roman physiognomy, the reception of Greek tragedy, and the intersections between ancient medicine and Platonist thought.

As a graduate student at Princeton, she taught English courses and advanced electives (such as “Introduction to Drama,” “Early World Literature,” and “Natures, Ancient and Modern”) in New Jersey correctional facilities for four years. This fall, she is an instructor in the Philosophy section of Yale’s Directed Studies program.
