Biography

I am a Latinist with research interests in the cultural history of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. I focus especially on education, scholarship and language interaction--especially Latin (including Hiberno-Latin), Greek and Old Irish. I also have expertise in Digital Humanities (coming from a background in IT).

My publications have focused in particular on Latin and Old Irish grammars, glosses and glossaries. These include digital editions of early Irish glossaries and Irish glosses on Priscian's Latin grammar. In 2019, I published a 592-page monograph edition of the seventh-century text De origine scoticae linguae (O'Mulconry's Glossary), which is a valuable witness to the reception of Latin educational texts in Ireland. 

I study Irish manuscripts of Latin texts. I also work on broader comparative cultural studies, with a special interest in Japan and East Asia.

Career bio: I received my PhD from the University of Galway (2007), then worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Cambridge and the University of Galway. I have been Lecturer in Classics at the University of Galway since 2012. I am also an Associate Director at the Moore Institute.

During 2022-26, I am working as Principal Investigator on the Irish Research Council Laureate project Global and Local Scholarship on Annotated Manuscripts (GLOSSAM).

Research Interests

I work broadly on education and scholarship in Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, especially:

- Ancient and early medieval grammatical and rhetorical traditions
- Glosses, glossaries, commentaries and scholia
- Knowledge of Greek and Hebrew in the early medieval West
- Transmission and reception of Classical texts
- Digital editions and digital-editing methodologies
- Hiberno-Latin 

I am happy to advise prospective PhD students who are interested in any of these areas about research design and funding opportunities.

I am currently supervising PhD projects on the reception of pre-Socratic philosophy in Late Antiquity, on digital representations of intertextuality in Late Antique epic, and on political ideology in Sedulius Scotus' De Rectoribus Christianis. I have supervised MA theses on the Hiberno-Latin exegetical text De Mirabilibus Sacrae Scripturae, on Paul's Letter to the Galatians, and on Roman foundation myths.

I currently teach undergraduate lecture courses on Roman literature (esp. Virgil, Horace, Persius, Juvenal), ancient rhetoric, and Late Antique cultural history. I also Latin and Greek language to undergraduates and postgraduates at all levels.

I have previously taught courses on topics including Classical Greek history, ancient literacy, Romance linguistics, Celtic mythology, and early Irish literature.

My MA seminars are generally themed around literacy, education and rhetoric from Antiquity to the early Middle Ages.
