Academic Background

I have been variously studying, researching and teaching in Oxford since I turned up as a Classics II student in 2006. I wrote my doctorate on the reception of Cicero in the early empire under the supervision of Llewelyn Morgan and began my teaching career at my old college, Brasenose. Between 2017 and 2023 I worked as a Departmental Lecturer in Latin Literature and Roman History at St Hilda's College. This year, I have taken up a new role in the Faculty as the Senior Researcher in Classics Education, leading the Faculty’s strategic work in the fields of Outreach and Widening Participation. In this role, I am also Classics for All’s Regional Coordinator in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

Research Interests

My chief interests in the ancient world are the life and times of Marcus Tullius Cicero. My doctoral dissertation on his early reception is currently being prepared for publication by Oxford University Press.

Research Keywords

Latin Literature, especially Cicero; Roman History, especially Cicero; Ancient Philosophy, especially Cicero.

Teaching

Undergraduate: I teach most Latin literature courses offered in Classics, alongside providing language classes in Greek and Latin. I also teach a variety of Roman history papers.

Graduate: My specialism lies in the literature and history of the late Roman Republic and early Empire.
