I am currently a Visiting Fellow with the Open University, where I was awarded my PhD in 2014 for my thesis on viewer reception of classical myth on television. Prior to this I completed my first degree and MA in humanities at the Open University, specialising in English and classical literature.  I was the recipient of the AOUG Chancellor Asa Briggs Award for Arts in 2013 for my research.

I am a contributor to the Roehampton arm of the ‘Our Mythical Childhood’ research project. For more information on this international project on children’s culture and the classics see

I am also a member of the Membership and Outreach Committee for Antiquity in Media Studies (AIMS).
