• Continental philosophy (particularly Deleuze and Guattari)
• ancient philosophy (particularly Plato and Hellenistic philosophy)
• religion in the Hellenistic Period and the early Principate (including Isis cult, Judaisms of the Second Temple Period, Earliest Christianity/New Testament)
• poetry

In addition to three books of poetry currently finding their way through the search for publishers (Between Blue & Leek-Green, Documents in Vanishing Ink: Love in a Police State, and Songs in Iron & Bronze), I am currently working on a book concerning Plato’s philosophy in its cultural and geographical context, and another on Paul, following up from my 2001 book Corresponding Sense.
