Bywgraffiad
A native of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, I grew up in Ontario and outside of Washington DC before returning to French Canada to pursue an undergraduate degree in Canadian History & Ancient History at McGill University, followed by a Masters in Classics at the University of Edinburgh and a Doctorate in Ancient History at McGill. I am now Lecturer in Hellenistic History at Cardiff, after having taught at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and McGill University in Montreal.
My primary research interest is the society and culture of the Hellenistic World in the Greek Mainland with an eye to determining whether the local life of the Mainland Greeks was marked more by continuity and rupture. I seek to better understand the ancient dynamics of what we now call 'globalism' by determining whether small corners of the Greek Mainland really did adopt and adapt new cultural elements from the broader Hellenistic Arena, or whether life simply went on as before. In addition to this, I also work on the dynastic ideology and practices of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic Dynasties, with particular interest in the place and role of their royal women.
How the legacy of Antiquity has been shaped and re-shaped over the millenia that followed is my last main area of research, and I examine how the Ancient World is revived in 'popular culture' - films, television shows, video games, and the like. In the process I try to see how modern events cast their shadow over Antiquity,
In addition to my other ongoing projects, Professor Llewellyn-Jones and I are currently working on a monograph entitled Sister-Queens in the High Hellenistic Period: Kleopatra III and Kleopatra Thea, and I am chipping away at a monograph on the impact of 9/11 and the 'War on Terror' on popular and academic views of Antiquity.
I am an avid guitar player, a fan of all things musical (especially the history of Jazz), a die-hard supporter of the Ottawa Senators, and a proud Franco-Ontarian.
