I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Department of Classics. I am currently writing my dissertation "Antilogy: Opposed speeches in fifth-century Athens". My interests include:
- The intellectual history of classical Athens
- The sophistic movement
- Athenian law and oratory
- Thucydides' historiography
- Fifth-century drama, especially Aeschylus and Euripides
- Fifth- and fourth-century Hippocratic texts
- Literary theory, especially comparative and audience-oriented approaches
- The relationship between text and context, form and content
- Literary communication in early and classical Greece.
