I received my B.A. in Classical Languages from the University of California at Berkeley (1978), followed by a second B.A. in Classics from University College, Oxford University (1981), where I chose the ancient history and philosophy options of Greats. I received my Ph.D. in Classics from Brown University in 1986. I taught in the Department of Classics at Franklin and Marshall College (in Lancaster, PA) from 1986 until I came to Princeton in 2003. My primary areas of research are in Greek historiography, history, and religion. I am particularly interested in broadening the scope of these subjects by adapting methodologies from the disciplines of modern history, the anthropology of religion, and literary criticism. I enjoy teaching my two favorite authors, Herodotus and Xenophon.
