Biography
I am a scholar of Latin literature and Roman social history, especially gender and sexuality, and my latest research focuses on Roman masculinity, homosociality, homoeroticism and intimate friendship in Martial and Pliny. At the University of Toronto I am teaching beginning and intermediate Latin, Myth, the Introduction to Classical Studies and classical civilization topics including Sexuality and Gender and Marginal Identities. I am broadly interested in all aspects of gender and sexuality throughout Greco-Roman antiquity, in Latin language programming for the modern university, in translation theory and practice, and in interdisciplinary approaches to the ancient world.
Research Interests: Latin poetry, gender and sexuality, masculinity studies and homosociality
