My current book project explores the centrality of performance and the physical body to conceptualizations of literary language and style in antiquity; I am writing elsewhere about the influence of dance and movement over Longinus' notion of sublimity, and about the reception of Sappho’s lyric poetry in Greek literary criticism. 5th-century Athenian theater, with an emphasis on its soundscapes and performance realities, is also an ongoing area of my research and teaching related to my larger interests in sensory stimulation and lived experiences of verbal art.
