Bram ten Berge teaches language, history and classical civilization classes across the classics and history curricula. He joined the Hope faculty in 2017 after a year as Mellon Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Kalamazoo College.

Bram鈥檚 main research interests are in Roman history and historiography. His first book, (2023), explores the oeuvre of the Roman historian Tacitus (ca. AD 55鈥�120), showing how the historical vision articulated in his earlier texts persists in his later ones and how he used the former as sources for the latter.

Bram鈥檚 ongoing projects include an edited volume to be titled Tacitus and the Incomplete, which explores gaps, omissions, and lost portions in Tacitus鈥� oeuvre.

As part of his postgraduate training, Bram did the Regular Year Program at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and he has worked on archaeological projects in England, Greece and Italy.
