About

I'm a first-year PhD student in Ancient Philosophy, concentrating on erôs and the beautiful in Plato. I am particularly interested in Plato's idea of "participation" in a Form, and the role this plays in the Symposium. I teach units on ancient, moral, and political philosophy and enjoy discussing anything remotely related to those areas.
