My thesis explores the ways in which Terence's 'realistic' theatre constructs experience, with an eye to his palliata precursors and the fragmentary evidence for second-century Roman history. Particular theoretical references are Bakhtin's classicism, Foucault's history of the labouring body, and Mulvey's scopophilia. I also have two articles forthcoming, one on the Athenian tragedian Melanthius and the other on Terence's 'limp' poetics (with Sebastian Hyams).
