Lecturer

I was born in Chesterfield in beautiful Derbyshire in 1963. Thanks to the help of Edinburgh University’s summer school and dedicated local teachers who sacrificed their free periods to offer ancient Greek and Latin, I studied Classics as an undergraduate at Leeds University.

I opted to read for my Masters at Ohio State University, and then studied modern Greek during my time as an Erasmus student at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I returned to OSU to complete a PhD on Callimachus’ Hymns and until 2003 I worked as a lecturer in Classics at the Universities of Wittenburg, Ohio Wesleyan and Kalamazoo College. In August 2003 I returned to the University of Edinburgh -- where I began studying Greek and where I now lecture in Greek.

My main areas of scholarly interest are Hellenistic poetry and ancient literary theory and I have an ongoing passion for promoting the study of the Greek language in all periods and places.
