In my teaching, I focus on foregrounding active student engagement and fostering independent critical research. Whenever possible, I integrate hands-on activities and practicums in order to bring the ancient world to life, whether that be through lessons in scale drawing and photogrammetry, staging ancient Greek plays, or deciphering inscriptions on ancient objects.
My teaching further extends to the field. Since 2017, I have brought undergraduate students to my field projects in Sicily and Greece. Their participation was made possible through the successful procurement of internal grants.
As a member of the Classical Studies department, I teach classes on all aspects of the ancient world and at all levels, including first-year writing seminars and advanced research seminars. Many of my courses are cross-listed with the Art History department.
