My research interests lie chiefly in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. Within ancient philosophy, I am especially interested in ancient ethics and psychology and in points of connection between the two (e.g ancient theories of virtue and vice, desire, action, perception, pleasure, and emotion). I also have broad interests in the history of philosophy, in contemporary ethics – including virtue ethics and theories of well-being – and in some topics in contemporary philosophy of mind (e.g. perception, emotions).
I teach a range of courses in ancient philosophy, the history of philosophy, and ethics. I have also taught medieval philosophy and early modern philosophy. At the graduate level, I regularly teach courses on Plato and Aristotle (various works and topics) and on Hellenistic philosophy.
