I am generally interested in Ancient Greek Literature as well as its rich and varied afterlife in modernity. Most of my publications fall into two main research areas: 1) Ancient Greek tragedy in its fifth-century BCE context (with an emphasis on the chorus) and 2) Greek drama's modern reception, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as among Latinx communities in the U.S. My work on the latter has led to a wider research interest in engagements with Greco-Roman antiquity across the Americas (especially Hellenic classicisms), and the way that these intersect with questions of gender, race, class, and national identity.
My research has benefited from the generous support of the A. G. Leventis Foundation, the British Academy, the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. Currently, I am one of the co-investigators of the ‘Improntas de danza antigua: textos, cuerpos, imágenes, movimiento’ (IDA) research project funded by the Fundación BBVA in Spain, led by Zoa Alonso Fernández, which was recently featured on Spanish radio.
I am Associate Editor for Greek Literature at the American Journal of Philology. I also sit on the Editorial Board of two Brazilian Classics journals: Nuntius Antiquus and PhaoS - Revista de Estudos Clássicos, as well as on the Advisory Board for the new Global Antiquities journal and for the new scholarly society Hesperides: Classics in the Luso-Hispanic World. With Justine McConnell I am co-editor of the new Classics and the Postcolonial book series for Routledge. In 2019 I was elected to the Council of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies.
