Malina Ćirić Buturović is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Classics at Yale. Her work explores the interrelations between ancient Graeco-Roman scientific, philosophical, and cultural conceptions of the body.

Her current project, The Transmission of Fault: Heredity Between Medicine and Theology, traces the entangled histories of Graeco-Roman medicine and philosophy forward and backward from the world of ‘Imperial Greek.’ Through readings of Plutarch, Galen, and their contemporaries on questions of heredity, ancestral fault, and intergenerational responsibility, she argues for the mutual shaping of humanistic and medical discourse in antiquity and for the continuing repercussions of this entanglement in modern thought.
