Academic Interests

Latin poetry, especially elegy (Latin love poetry); textual criticism and digital editions; Roman imperial history and early Christianity under Rome; Greek tragedy, particularly Aeschylus.

My scholarship currently centers on editions of Latin texts for mid-level readers, including Propertius 1, the Ilias Latina (“Latin Iliad”), selections from Arnobius’s Adversus Nationes (“Response to the Non-Christians”), and Lactantius’s De Mortibus Persecutorum (“Deaths of the Persecutors”). As a teacher, I particularly enjoy teaching Latin courses, where I have the opportunity to examine together with students how language works at the most fundamental level.
