Personal profile
Research overview
My PhD project focuses on ideas of embodiment, personhood and identity as articulated in Ancient Greek public spaces, including the polis and the healing sanctuary. In applying modern disability theory to an ancient context, I aim to draw novel, nuanced conclusions about the ancient disabled experience, all the while exploring the ways in which these experiences parallel, or disrupt, the modern theoretical models.
Research interests
My research interests span from ancient citizenship, to inscriptions, to disability history. I am also interested in the reception of Ancient Greek culture in modern-day popular culture, such as video games and horror films.
