Associate Professor in Classics
Department of Greek and Latin
Expertise: Classics (the study of ancient civilisations such as the Greeks and Romans)
I study literature by Homer, an ancient Greek author who wrote about the Trojan Wars, although we don’t know if he was actually a real person! I look at how his work has been interpreted by ancient and modern civilisations.
