I received my doctorate at the University of Adelaide in 1998, from which I published my book Imagery of Colour and Shining in Catullus, Propertius and Horace (New York 2003). It builds upon the growing interest in recent decades in concepts of pictorial vividness (enargeia) and pictorial description (ekphrasis) in
the works of ancient writers. I have also published articles on Catullus and Propertius. Another area of interest has been the metaphorical use of landscape in Roman elegy of all periods.
More recently, I have moved into the area of Late Latin poetry, particularly the works of the late 4th century poet Prudentius. I am currently working an a project with Professor Han Baltussen on pain narratives in the ancient world. I am studying the representation of pain in Prudentius' martyr poems.

I am usually the coordinator of our first year course The Ancient World through Film. I also coordinate and do much of the teaching for our popular Classical Mythology course. I have also designed a course entitled Emotions in Antiquity which examines various emotional states in the ancient world through the vehicle of literature; I am both the coordinator and teacher of this course.
I also teach our Latin course and help students when they wish to do further Latin or Ancient Greek courses through the University of New England.
