Sinead Brennan-McMahon
Ph.D. Student in Classics, admitted Autumn 2019
Master of Arts Student in Classics, admitted Autumn 2026BioSinead is an ABD PhD candidate in the Department of Classics and is expecting to complete her dissertation in 2024. Her research investigates ancient Roman sexual culture and where it shows up in the landscape. It focuses on displays of sexuality that do not match up to any social or political identities, including statues of Priapus, emperors portrayed as sexual aggressors and agricultural language adopted as sexual slang.
Sinead comes from Auckland, New Zealand, where she received her M.A. with First Class Honours. Her M.A. thesis examined the reception of Martial’s sexually obscene homosexual epigrams in school texts and commentaries. Using a comprehensive statistical analysis, she argued that Victorian editors of Martial’s Epigrams expurgated the text to remove references to material they found offensive and to curate a culturally appropriate view of the ancient world for their schoolboy readers.
Sinead is also interested in the Digital Humanities, Data Science and programming. As a CESTA DH Graduate Fellow, she is developing an ngram viewer tool for the Latin literary canon. -

BioKeri O. Brenner, MD, MPA, FAAHPM is Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and is board-certified in both psychiatry and hospice and palliative medicine. She earned her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame, where she subsequently served on the Board of Trustees (2005 to 2008). She received her medical degree from Yale School of Medicine, where she earned the Keese Prize for her honors thesis on the phenomenology of suffering in illness.

Dr. Brenner is a nationally recognized leader in “PalliPsych” education initiatives that integrate psychiatric, psychological, and psychotherapeutic principles into serious illness care. Her scholarship explores how psychological formulation and concepts drawn from psychotherapy can deepen serious illness communication and therapeutic presence. She has authored an extensive body of peer-reviewed scholarship and is co-editor of a 10-article special series in the Journal of Palliative Medicine on psychotherapeutically informed serious illness communication. She has delivered hundreds of grand rounds, invited presentations, keynote addresses, and intensive workshops at leading institutions and professional conferences nationally and internationally.
Dr. Brenner serves as Chair of the Stanford Jonathan King Lectureship Committee; Founder and Chair of the AAHPM Bogetz Lectureship Advisory Group; Director of Stanford’s Clinician Educator Scholars Program (PCPH Division); and a founding member of the Board of Directors of the Hippocratic Society. Her honors include Stanford’s Outstanding Palliative Care Faculty Award, AAHPM Emerging Leader (2024); visiting professorships at Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Manitoba, support from Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (2019), and a Stanford Catalyst Grant for ELEVATE, an AI-integrated training program in psychologically informed serious illness care.
Dr. Brenner's formative service at Mother Teresa’s Home for the Dying in Kolkata, India, profoundly shaped her vocation in palliative care. Outside of medicine, she enjoys the beauty of Northern California with her husband and four children. -
