International Health Humanities Network Membership

Principally a scholar in Classics and Medieval and Renaissance Studies, I teach Ancient Medicine and Ancient Science for a major in Medical Humanities (B.S.) at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (PA, USA). My research focuses on the consolatory tradition and the use of literary technique in philosophical literature, but I have secondary interests in ancient music, ancient medicine, tragedy, and critical theory (especially psychoanalytic theory, Italian theory, and ordinary language philosophy).
