Antonia's research centres around questions of socio-political performance and the idea of the body in ancient Greek thought, especially in Attic drama and Greek epic poetry. She has recently concluded a PhD in Classics at the University of Cambridge, supported by an AHRC and a Cambridge Trust Scholarship. Her doctoral thesis focused on the socio-hierarchical conceptualizations of the (un)dressed body in fifth-century Athenian Drama.
Antonia's wider research interests include literary concepts of being and performance, constructions of social identity, hierarchy and mobility, social transformation and translation, ideas of metamorphosis as well as theories of vision and (sensual/cognitive) perception. A convenor of the Cambridge Interdisciplinary Performance Network since 2018, Antonia is keen to explore these interests in cross-disciplinary dilagoue.
