About Me

I am a doctoral candidate in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Bristol, researching funerary stelae and identity in Roman Egypt. I have previously completed a BA and MA in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool.

 

My PhD research centres on Egyptian funerary stelae from the Roman period, using the site of Terenouthis/Kom Abou Billou as a case study; my thesis explores how the epigraphy and iconography are used to construct and express the gender, religious identity and ethnic identity of the deceased.

 

My research interests are diverse and include ancient Egyptian language and literature, cross-cultural contact in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean, Hellenism and Greek language in Egypt and the Near East, Coptic literature, early Christianity, and reception studies.

 

My linguistic competence is broad and includes Egyptian hieroglyphs, Coptic, Classical Greek, Latin, Biblical Hebrew, Phoenician and Classical Arabic.

 

I have several years’ experience teaching Egyptian hieroglyphs to adult learners at all levels, both in a classroom setting and on the online platform Zoom. My linguistic skills are broad and include Egyptian hieroglyphs, Coptic, Classical Greek, Latin, Biblical Hebrew, Phoenician and Classical Arabic.
