Research Interests:

My research interests revolve around various aspects of Chinese moral and political philosophy, including issues that arise when one thinks about the process of comparing Chinese ideas and traditions with the ideas and traditions of other cultures. I focus primarily on post-classical Chinese thought, up to and including the contemporary period. I have written on the development of Chinese human rights discourse, its various interactions with non-Chinese discourses, and on ways in which we in the West should relate to these Chinese ideas. My current research looks at relations between Confucian ideas and contemporary philosophical concerns in a different area: drawing on work I have done on the idea of "sagehood," I am exploring whether the neo-Confucian philosophical and religious tradition (roughly 1000 C.E. - present) has resources that can contribute constructively to a contemporary, globally-informed philosophy of moral psychology and moral education.

Research Interests:

My recent scholarship has been focused primarily on what are often called Cervantes's "other works," the novels and plays that tend to get overlooked in the long shadow cast by Don Quijote. A book called Cervantes' Epic Novel: Empire, Religion, and the Dream Life of Heroes in 'Persiles' (U of Toronto P, 2009) explores how Cervantes's last novel transforms major literary, political, religious, and social debates of late 16th- and early 17th-century Spain into narrative art. It looks at the inventive ways Cervantes ironizes romance (especially Heliodorus's Greek novel) and the verse epic tradition (primarily, Homer, Vergil, and Tasso) by pitting them against each other and other genres. And it tracks the novel’s insistence on finding both its pleasures and its lessons in moral complexity. Persiles is seen to be epic not only in the terms provided by the dominant early 17th-century reception of the Greek novel or in its allusions, encyclopedic scope and virtuoso patterning but also in its aspiration to embrace all of the author himself--including the overriding desire to entertain. For several years now I have been at work on a book provisionally entitled Cervantes Plays: Ironies of History on the Early Modern Stage. It takes a close look at Cervantes's full-length plays and their imaginative, often experimental, and still-compelling dramatic engagement with key historical debates about Habsburg political mythmaking, Algerian captivity, the gypsy community, the rise of the commercial stage, marriage choice, and women's work. This book has emerged from the Theater Without Borders research collaborative, a group committed to exploring the international and comparative impact of early modern drama, especially--but not exclusively--of England, Spain, Italy, and France (see our website at www.nyu.edu/projects/theaterwithoutborders/index.html). Earlier I was contributing author to the scholarly catalogue for an exhibition I helped organize called Goya and the Spirit of Enlightenment, which could be seen at the Prado, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Metropolitan Museum in NYC (1988-1989). Throughout, I have tried to practice a kind of scholarship that moves fluidly from text to context and back again (reading the text with and against the pressures of the moment and then reading that moment through the lens of the text); that draws on close reading in multiple disciplines (history of literature and art, comparative literature, genre theory, political, social, and economic history, history of ideas and philosophy, theology and religious history, and jurisprudence); and that is informed by textual, historical, and theoretical approaches to literature. Finally, I have looked for ways to bring my scholarly interests to a wider audience, serving--for instance--as general editor of three Let's Go travel guides (Let's Go France 1986, Let's Go California and the Pacific Northwest 1986, and Let's Go Spain & Portugal 1992).

Research Interests:

Roman social history, Greco-Roman medicine, Roman law, and the Roman novel. My first book, Roman Girlhood and the Fashioning of Femininity, is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press (2014). It seeks to correct the prevailing scholarly assumption that the Romans gave little thought to the consequences of an early marriage age for girls, and shows that a range of writers, from physicians and jurists to philosophers and poets, show an awareness of, and often an uneasiness or ambivalence about, the consequences of early marriage and childbearing.

My current projects develop my interests in popular morality and intellectual culture in the early empire. I am at work on an article about the uses of anecdote in the Historical Miscellany of Aelian, and on a study of the physician-patient relationship in the On Prognosis of Galen.

Research Interests:

Matthew Garrett's writing and teaching concern the relationship between literary form and social history. His book, "Out of Many: Episodic Poetics in the Early American Republic" (forthcoming, Oxford University Press), traces an early American and transatlantic culture of the episode across the period's major genres of prose writing -- from wildly plotted novels to peculiarly constructed memoirs and linked serial essays. The book shows how, in ways both magisterial and mundane, social and political conflicts took variegated shape in a literary culture founded upon the episode, that omnipresent narrative unit so often taken for granted by writers and readers. The result is literary history recounted not as the easy victory of grand nationalist ambitions, but rather as a series of social struggles expressed through writers' recurring engagement with incompletely integrated forms. Professor Garrett's work appears in American Quarterly, ELH, the Journal of Cultural Economy, and Radical History Review.

Office Hours:

Research Interests:

My research interests focus primarily on Ancient Greek philosophy, particularly the dialogues of Plato, though I have ancillary interests in ethics and in issues surrounding the practice of philosophical inquiry and argument.

I'm currently at work on a book, Lovers of Argument: A Study of Plato's Moral Psychology, that explores issues at the intersection of Plato's views in ethics and politics. The central claim is that the way in which we approach argument typically reveals something at a deeper level about our desires and motivations; in particular, since the power of argument lies in its ability to influence others, a proper engagement with argument demands a proper engagement with others. On this reading of Plato, the key to engaging in argument correctly is found in his understanding of ers. I develop this reading by focusing on the theme of philologia (literally: "love of argument") in Plato's moral psychology and its appearance in four of his works that deal with the topic of love, rhetoric, and the practice of philosophy: the Gorgias, Symposium, Republic, and Phaedrus. When complete, this book will offer the first systematic study of Plato's views on the role of human motivation in argument and on the role of argument generally in civic life.

Scholarly Keywords:

Plato; Ancient Greek philosophy; moral psychology; ethics (classical and contemporary)

Research Interests:

I'm a historian of early modern Rome (1500-1800). My research explores a wide range of topics in political, social, and cultural history from popular politics, print culture, urban space, and legal practices to artists' organizations and men's households. Recently I published the book Brokers of Public Trust: Notaries in Early Modern Rome (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009). Currently I'm working on Baroque Rome as a "city of men," where males substantially outnumbered females and the clergy held the reins of both domestic and political power.

I am broadly engaged with moral theory, and more specifically with the relationship between moral ideals and the activity of criticism. Bringing a broadly pragmatist account of judgment and communication to bear on moral discourse, I show how the challenges of moral criticism require us to rethink some standard assumptions in moral theory. I am also interested in moral responsibility, the consequences of human social embodiment, and interpretive questions about how to understand actions that we oppose.

Margot Weiss specializes in the ethnography of contemporary sexual cultures and politics. Her first book, Techniques of Pleasure: BDSM and the Circuits of Sexuality (Duke University Press) won the 2012 Ruth Benedict Book Prize for best monograph in queer anthropology and was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in LGBT Studies. Her current research with North American queer left activists focuses on the possibilities and parameters of a radical political imagination at a time of economic crisis. The research is supported by a Wenner-Gren Post-Ph.D. Research Grant, Osmundsen Initiative Award, and CLAGS Joan Heller-Diane Bernard Senior Fellowship in Lesbian and Gay Studies. She has published essays on the politics of BDSM media visibility; on labor, leisure, and commodified sexuality; on the performative effects of BDSM interrogation scenes and the Abu Ghraib photographs; on neoliberalism, homonormativity, and new queer activisms; on methods in queer anthropology; and on left intellectuals and activism in the neoliberal university.
