Latin literature (especially Late Republican and early Augustan); the use of geography in literature; the construction of gender and sexuality in Greek and Roman literature and society; the reception of classical myths by contemporary female authors.

I am currently writing a monograph on Catullus’ use of geography and place for Oxford University Press, as well as articles on gender, class and sexuality in Late Republican literature. In my research and teaching generally I am particularly interested in allusion and intertextuality, the reception of Classical traditions, and the application of contemporary literary critical theory to study of the ancient world.

I am available to supervise Honours and Masters students. I especially welcome enquiries about topics related to the following areas:

• Latin literature
• Catullus
• Gender and sexuality in Greece and Rome
• Literary theory
• Reception of classical texts and myths
