Research Topic: Royal and Divine Sovereignty in the Hellenistic Polis
I am currently a PhD candidate at NYU writing on monarchy and civic cult during the Hellenistic period. I focus mostly on epigraphic sources which have to do with the political, diplomatic, and religious institutions of the polis. Being in Athens and Greece for both a regular membership and advanced fellowship has been extremely rewarding in advancing both my research goals and my appreciation for the history of Greece generally.
