I am an Ancient Historian and Classical Archaeologist currently teaching for the University of Groningen. My work focuses on public space, public life, and statues and monuments in Hellenistic and Roman Greece and in the ancient world more broadly. I teach a broad range of courses at BA and MA level in the History and Archaeology departments and have a particular affinity with cultural and political approaches to the ancient world. I am currently engaged in publishing the votive portrait statues from the Hellenistic and Roman period Artemision at Messene. The project aims to casts new light on why people dedicated statues of themselves in sanctuaries, to explore the experience of viewing religious scultpure and to develop new methods for using 3D computer technology for archaeological reconstruction.

My research interests lie in the reception and performance of Greek tragedy in the twentieth century and the role of ancient theatre in reinforcing national and political ideologies. I welcome PhD proposals in the following areas: adaptation of Greek tragedy and tragic theory; theatre festivals and cultural politics; theatre and national identity; theatre and fascism.
Ancient Philosophy
I specialize in Plato, Stoicism and Neoplatonism. My work is centrally concerned on the one hand with the question how ancient thinkers choose to communicate their insights in specific literary forms and on the other hand the reception of (mainly Platonic) philosophical texts in the ancient world and since antiquity. Areas of special interest include the Platonic Alcibiades I, philosophical concepts of self-knowledge, the work of Olympiodorus of Alexandria, and narrative analysis of ancient philosophical texts.
Students are welcome to contact me for supervision on any subject in ancient philosophy and Greek and Latin philosophical prose.
