His research also includes modern approaches to the study of ancient literature, such as queer theory and psychoanalysis.

His publications include “Beyond Sex: The Poetics and Politics of Pederasty in Tibullus 1.4,” Phoenix (2007) 61.1-2: 55-82 and “The Alexander Bromance: Male Desire and Gender Fluidity in Oliver Stone’s Historical Epic,” Helios (2008) 35.2: 223-251. Currently, he is working on a book-length project on Roman homoerotic poetry from the late Republic and early Empire and is co-editing (with Mary-Kay Gamel) a volume on ancient Greek women in film.
