About
Since my PhD on ancient Greek ideas about menstruation, I've been interested in setting medical texts within their cultural contexts of production and reception. Recently I've been doing more on the reception end, looking at the uses of Hippocratic gynaecology in medicine up to the nineteenth century.
I am finalising a monograph on the reception of two ancient stories about women, 'Following Agnodike and Phaethousa: transformation and gender in the reception of ancient medicine'. I am also working on projects on the humours in ancient medicine, the role of Hippocratic medicine in the later history of phobia, the reception of the plague of Athens, and the senses in medicine.
