I am specialist in ancient philosophy, with particular research interests in ancient metaphysics, epistemology and psychology, especially of Plato and Aristotle.

I studied Classics and Philosophy at Cambridge, where I gained her BA (Classics) and M.Phil and PhD (Philosophy) degrees. I held research fellowships at St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge, and St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, and was Lecturer, then Reader, in Philosophy at King’s College London, prior to joining the Faculty at Yale in 2006. At Yale, I hold a joint position in Philosophy and Classics (office in Philosophy: Connecticut Hall).
