Research Interest

The focus of her research in recent years has been on choral performance, its artistic context and its ideological and political agenda. While still pursuing several aspects of chorality, her chief project currently in progress is a study of attitudes to art, lifestyle and leadership in the late 5th century as reflected in prose andAttic drama. The intended outcome of her research into the late 5th century is a book length study which, in addition to new material, will incorporate part of her research which has been already published or is forthcoming.
