Very grateful for all who helped me to bring this book into the world!
ALT Cover of the book Seeing Color in Classical Art. Against a black background the head and face of a painted marble statue of a woman looks out. Traces of red paint cover her wavy hair and traces of brown form her irises. Holes in her earlobes mark where metal earrings would once have been attached, and fragments of metal attachments for a headpiece show through her carved hair.
ALT Summary page for the book Seeing Color in Classical Art, described as a new critical account of color as material in ancient Mediterranean art and architecture.

My latest in Classical Journal! This article is intended to encourage other people to think about the role of disability in our traditional canon of ancient literature. What if we ackowledge that everyone experiences their worlds through their bodies?
ALT Screenshot of title and abstract. The title is, “Ancient Greek and Roman Crip Lit” and the abstract reads: “The study of disability in the ancient world is a burgeoning field and is rapidly garnering interest outside of academia, as well. This brief article argues that we can expand our engagement with the topic—-and with ancient literature broadly—by acknowledging the disabled status of some Ancient Greek and Roman authors, many of whom are mainstays of our traditional literary canon. Disability-informed approaches to themes like embodiment and phenomenology can contribute to a more complex and grounded understanding of ancient life and experience, as well as deepen our understanding of topics like Stoic philosophy, ancient temporalities, Greek tragedy and the discourse of disability in the ancient world.”
