I am Associate Professor of Classics & Comparative Literature, Director of the Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition, and General Editor of the monograph series Classical Receptions in Twentieth-Century Writing (Bloomsbury). 

My areas of research are ancient Greek and Latin languages, literature and philosophy and 20th- and 21st-century experimental compositions (especially literatures from Argentina, Canada, France, Greece, Italy, USA, and Uruguay). I approach this material from comparative and syncretic perspectives, identifying the many classical and modern intersections where it lies and continues to develop.

I am the author of Borges' Classics: Global Encounters with the Graeco-Roman World (Cambridge, 2018, funded by the Leverhulme Trust), and volume editor of Susan Sontag's Tangential Classics (OUP, 2025), Anne Carson's Euripides (Classical Antiquity 42:2, 2023), Anne Carson/ Antiquity (Bloomsbury, 2022) and The Roman Paratext: Frame, Texts, Readers (Cambridge, 2014). 

My next monograph, Anne Carson and Classics: Indisciplinary Writings on Greek Antiquity, is forthcoming with CUP, and has been supported by a Bristol University Research Fellowship and a CHS Research Fellowship, Harvard. Also forthcoming is an edited volume on eco-poet performer Phoebe Giannisi, Chimeric Ecologies: The Poetry of Phoebe Giannisi (for Greek/ Modern Intersections, Michigan UP).
