Kathryn Morgan will be working on her project, "Plato, Thucydides, and the Uses of History," arguing that Plato found in Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War a model of inductive world-building that challenged his own analysis of ethics and politics, and that this challenge was taken up in a number of Platonic dialogues.
