My current doctoral research focuses on cooperation and concord between the cities of Western Asia Minor in the Roman imperial period, aiming to better understand why discourses of inter-city concord were so prominent from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE and whether this led to real changes in political behaviour. I hope to further refine our conceptions of how cities in Roman Asia Minor interacted, the contexts in which homonoia was promoted and monumentalised, and the degree of connectivity between poleis under the Roman Empire. My wider interests are broadly focused on the civic life of the post-Classical polis, in particular the role of the demos in the Greek city and the relationship between civic life and the built urban environment.
