Reader in Latin Language & Lit.
My research focuses on the intersections between Latin literature, ancient philosophy and gender studies. I also have a strong specialism in classical reception.
I am currently starting to shape my next book project, which will look at how Seneca uses the family in his tragedies, incorporating both philosophical and literary readings.
My teaching is deeply entwined with my research; as well as teaching Latin, I teach a first year half-unit exploring imperial Roman literature, and contribute to our third year course "Contemporary Approaches to Latin Literature", which takes our students face to face with cutting-edge research and theoretical readings of ancient poetry and prose.
If you’re thinking about potential PhD study, I’m interested in supervising work looking at Seneca, the Roman Stoics, innovative readings of Roman literature, and other topics related to my research interests.
As well as academic journal articles and books, I have written for publications with a wider public audience including Times Higher Education, History Today and Strange Horizons. I have media experience working with television, documentary film, radio and newspapers.
