I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in the Department of Classics. I have published on ancient Greek utopia and on fifth-century BCE legal and political theory. I am currently completing my dissertation "The Grammar of Democracy: Opposed Speeches in Classical Greece". My interests include:
- The intellectual history of democratic Athens
- Athenian law and oratory
- Thucydides' historiography
- The sophistic movement and Plato
- Ancient rhetoric and political theory
- Fifth-century tragedy
- Literary theory (poststructuralism, postcritique, reader-response criticism).
