Research Interests
My research interests focus on the Attic Nights of Aulus Gellius, but I am interested more broadly in methods of reading and learning in compilatory literature of the imperial period in Greece and Rome.
My teaching interests involve creating a heavily participatory atmosphere in Greek and Latin language classes, where students practice and create knowledge in interactive situations in class and review their knowledge in private at home.
