Teacher Receives Grant for Study

Katherine B. Kiefer is one of five California teachers to win grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the DeWitt Wallace-Reader’s Digest Fund.

The Pacific Palisades resident, who teaches Latin at the Marlborough School in Hancock Park, will receive a yearlong sabbatical and a stipend of up to $30,000 to conduct independent research in the humanities.

Beginning in the fall, Kiefer will study themes of love and religion in Latin inscriptions and their relevance to Augustan poetry.
