About

Stella Fritzell (she/they) is a 2024-25 AAUW American Fellow and PhD candidate in the Department of Greek, Latin, & Classical Studies at Bryn Mawr College. She received her BA from Carleton College in 2015, and her MA from Bryn Mawr College in 2019 with a thesis entitled “Atalanta as a Repoussoir for Erotic & Competitive Ephebic Excellence”. Her dissertation examines local focalizations of myths about so-called enemy groups and proposes three ways in which these stories would have resonated with subaltern populations. In addition to myth, her research interests broadly include narratology, performance, landscape theory, and classical art. Stella is also engaged in digital scholarship programs at and beyond Bryn Mawr, Greek and Latin tutoring, and martial arts instruction.
