Bryn Mawr College; B.A. Classical Languages / B.A. Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology
My undergraduate research focused on ancient magical womb amulets as a mediator between the patient and body. I explored amulet, uterine, and user agency.
Apart from gynecological magic, my interests vary widely: Greco-Roman, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern magic, religion, and medicine; demonization; Phoenicians; patient-body relationships; ancient gynecology; disability; sensory archaeology; bioarchaeology; archaeobotany; papyrology; and cross-cultural interaction in the eastern Mediterranean.
At Berkeley, I have continued to develop my research interests and conduct research on amulets in Lebanon.
