- About Me
I am a Lecturer in Classics at Royal Holloway, University of London, where I have been since 2013 after a stint at the University of Birmingham following completing my PhD in the US. My research interests cover Roman social history, Latin literature and gender studies; I’m also very interested in what happens to classics in post-classical cultures, particularly in popular media like film, television and Young Adult Fiction.
I am currently working on a book manuscript exploring the reception of the classical monster in popular culture; it will appear in 2019 with I.B. Tauris/Bloomsbury.
I have experience working with television, radio, print publications and public events. Up-to-date details of my media and outreach activities are available here.
