Jay Fisher received his B.A. from Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and his M.A. from Bryn Mawr College. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in September 2006. His research focuses primarily on Indo-European linguistics and poetics and the evolution of Proto-Indo-European poetics in the attested daughter languages, particularly in Latin and Greek. He has written forthcoming articles on the prosimetric form of the Old Irish text, the Táin Bó Cúalnge (to appear in the Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium 23), and on collocations of word and deed in Proto-Indo-European (to appear in the Proceedings of the Seventeenth Annual UCLA Indo-European Conference). He is currently working on the language of the Fetial prayer in Latin and alternate traditions of Hephaistos in Greek epic.
