Research Interests
I work on ideas about gender, the body, and representation, both within the ancient world and beyond. I am also interested in feminist and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of women in the ancient world.
Other Professional Activities
I hold a Graduate Museum Assistant Bursary at the Museum of Classical Archaeology, Cambridge. I am responsible for integrating the British Museum's analysis of objects in our collection from Naukratis, Egypt, into MOCA's new digital catalogue.
I supervise undergraduates at various colleges for part IB and part II papers on Greco-Roman art and archaeology.
