My research focuses on the intersection of poetry and religion in antiquity, and interrogates the relationship between narrative, knowledge, and authority. I am also interested in the social roles of women in the ancient world and female speakers in ancient sources. My current projects include a monograph on speech acts in Greek Lyric poetry that examines how poetic speakers use close relationships with gods and demonstrations of mythic knowledge as emblems of their authority.
