Biography
I am a first year doctoral student with research interests in ancient Greek philosophy, continental philosophy, and classical reception studies. At the intersection of these traditions, my research has both methodological and practical concerns: first, with its foundation in the ancient Greek world, how has continental philosophy understood the work (the function and purpose) of philosophy? Second, what political and practical impact has ancient Greek philosophy had on historically marginalized groups? How are those marginalized voices both included in and excluded from ancient Greek philosophical discourse? In conjunction with a historical focus, I incorporate contemporary, critical perspectives in my scholarship to cultivate new understandings of historical texts.
