Biography

Trained historical linguist specializing in Indo-European languages and cultures, particularly the earliest poetic traditions of Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, and the Anatolian branch. Lundquist earned degrees in Latin and Linguistics from Manchester and in Indo-European Studies from UCLA (2017). He has also been a Fellow in Classics at Harvard and a Junior Research Fellow in Comparative Philology at Wolfson College, Oxford. His scholarship has clarified poetic traditions, focusing on the metrical systems within Ancient Greek and Vedic Sanskrit, reshaping our understanding of inherited morphology. Recently, he has re-examined grammatical traditions in Greece and ancient India and has worked on the challenges of understanding archaic accents. Lundquist has published a series of papers through Oxford University and is currently involved in ongoing projects that study the earliest literary traditions and the reconstructive studies in Indo-European morphology and accentuation. Committed to sustainable farming and rural life, he co-founded a literary journal in western Maine and actively participates in outdoor activities.
