I study the textures of daily life in the ancient world. My research focuses on how people lived, stayed connected, and navigated the power of empires in Roman Egypt and Meroitic Sudan.
I am deeply committed to the ethics of archaeology—asking not just what we find, but how we find it and who tells the story. At the CUNY Graduate Center, I coordinate the Archaeology subfield (with Matthew Reilly) and welcome questions from prospective students about graduate study in social archaeology, ancient history, or archaeological ethics.
Featured Research: The Archaeology of the Home
My work often centers on the "social archaeology" of the house—moving away from grand monuments to look at the private spaces where life actually happened.
-
At Home in Roman Egypt: A Social Archaeology (2021): In this book, I use a "life course" approach to examine themes like birth, childhood, adulthood, health, disability, and death, offering a social history of non-elite individuals during the Roman occupation.
-
Daily Life in Roman Egypt (forthcoming 2026): My upcoming book (Cambridge University Press) continues this journey through a "creative nonfiction" lens. It braids together two narratives: the imagined lives of a family living in a mudbrick house in the city of Trimithis, and the contemporary story of the female Egyptian archaeologist who excavated it. By placing the ancient residents alongside the modern scholar, I explore the ethical responsibilities we have when we "uncover" the lives of others.
Recent Projects & Advocacy
-
Nubian Homescapes (2026): Co-edited with Anne Jennings, this open-access project defines "homescapes" as the physical and emotional spaces people call home, even under the threat of forced relocation. Crucially, the volume features work by Nubian scholars currently displaced by the war in Sudan, highlighting the importance of amplifying displaced voices in the academy. Here is the link to that publication: https://escholarship.org/uc/dotawo/9/0
-
Public Access: I advocate for open-access publishing—such as Dotawo—to ensure heritage remains connected to the communities it belongs to, even during times of conflict.
