My thesis explores the subject of childhood and children in the Greek world during the Early Iron Age and Archaic Period. Drawing on textual, iconographic, and archaeological sources, I aim to compile and outline the available evidence for studying children in early Greece and to evaluate traditional approaches for the study of this period of the life course.
My broader research interests span from the Late Bronze Age through to the Archaic Period, covering themes such as social identities, mortuary customs, cult places and practices, and responses to catastrophe and changing social conditions. I especially value interdisciplinary approaches, which critically combine archaeological, iconographic, and textual evidence, as well as the careful application of theory and comparative evidence
I hold an MSt in Classical Archaeology and a BA in Literae Humaniores from the University of Oxford. I am currently a Project Curator (‘Hidden Stories of Childhood’) for the Departments of Greece & Rome and Egypt & Sudan at the British Museum.
