Research areas
My primary research interest is the study of animals (including humans) in the ancient Mediterranean, drawing on ecology and biology to reconstruct the animal world of antiquity. My current project is an exploration of animal regionalities within the ancient Greek world, asking how regional variation in fauna affected the imaginative bestiaries of individual Greek poleis.
