I am a specialist in Hellenistic philosophy. My published work focuses on Stoic logic and ethics, and on how these different parts of Stoic philosophy inform and support each other. I have further interests in Epicurean epistemology and ethics, Platonic epistemology and moral psychology, and Aristotelian moral psychology.

I teach all the undergraduate ancient philosophy papers, as well as Ethics. I have recently led graduate seminars on The Stoic System (with M. Durand); Ancient Epistemology (with A. Bown); Seneca’s Letters (with B. Taylor); and the Stoic Theory of Emotions.
