PhD candidate and teacher, Ancient History
Thesis Title: ΣΟΦΙΗ to ΦΙΛΟΣΟΦΕΙΝ: A Pre-Platonic Lexical Study
About
I work on the social history of the scholar (ancient and modern), ancient lexicology, textual transmission, canonicity, papyrology, scribal practice and the ways in which these things interact. I am also interested in the history and development of ancient world studies as a discipline.
I have worked as a research assistant on the project 'Papyri from the Rise of Christianity in Egypt' (http://www.acrc.mq.edu.au/PCE/index.html) for the last seven years, as well as on several other projects within the department. I am now a research associate for the ARC funded project 'Scribal Practice in Duplicate Documents on Papyrus from Graeco-Roman Egypt'.
I am currently completing a Phd and teaching an honours level course in historiography (ancient and modern) at Macquarie University.
I am a founding member of the society for Australasian Women in Ancient World Studies and a member of the Association Internationale de Papyrologues.
Education:
B.Arts (hons), University of Sydney 2001; Phd (in progress), Macquarie University.
