I teach all areas of the ancient Mediterranean, with special excitement about intellectual history and constructions of gender and ethnicity, especially as responses to imperialism.

Other topics of especial interest are pseudo-historiography in antiquity (into which I would toss Xenophon, ancient novels, paradoxography, and fun plagiarized fake histories like the Historia Augusta) and constructions of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity, especially in the context of Roman imperialism.
