Career

She received her PhD in philosophy from the New School for Social Research Graduate Faculty and has been teaching at Tulane since 1980. Her research has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Earhart Foundation, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation. She is the author of books and articles on Plato and Aristotle, and her graduate seminars on those thinkers have often led to dissertations in ancient philosophy. In recent years she has extended her studies to Maimonides and the Hebrew Bible, writing essays, teaching courses, and lecturing on numerous college campuses.{{cite journal|last1=Skultety|first1=Steven|title=Review of Aristotle's Dialogue with Socrates: On the Nicomachean Ethics|journal=Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews|date=11 January 2009|url=https://ndpr.nd.edu/news/aristotle-s-dialogue-with-socrates-on-the-nicomachean-ethics/|accessdate=2 March 2018|issn=1538-1617}}
