8d04a3a9a91121f3fb198c98c6e5c081 research overview <p><img alt="" src="/people/sites/www.open.ac.uk.people/files/images/SensesCover.jpg" style="float:right; height:304px; margin:5px; width:200px" />My research explores Roman urbanism and religion in Roman and Iron Age Italy (primarily Picenum - modern Marche and North Abruzzo), with an emphasis on the interrelationships between the human body, material culture and architecture. I am concerned with&nbsp;questions of individual and group identities, and the concepts&nbsp;and use of space.&nbsp;This is all underpinned by sensory studies; specifically,&nbsp;the development and application of multisensory approaches to&nbsp;understanding&nbsp;people&#39;s&nbsp;construction, experience&nbsp;and use of urban and ritual space,&nbsp;and&nbsp;phenomenological approaches to ancient Italic&nbsp;sacred&nbsp;landscapes.&nbsp;I&nbsp;am a founding member of the<a href="http://sensorystudiesinantiquity.com/" rel="nofollow">Sensory Studies in Antiquity</a>network and on the series advisory board for<a href="https://www.routledge.com/Studies-in-Roman-Space-and-Urbanism/book-series/SRSU" rel="nofollow">Studies in Roman Space and Urbanism.</a></p><p>I have worked on a number of archaeological fieldwork projects in Italy, including the<a href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/accordia/gargano.htm" rel="nofollow">Tavoliere-Gargano Prehistory Project</a>&nbsp;and<a href="https://www.mugellovalleyarchaeologicalproject.org/albagino/" rel="nofollow">Albagino Sacred Lake Project</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Selected Publications</h2><p>Betts, E.

This was succeeded by a DPhil (PhD) at Oxford University, on the subject of the sacred landscape of Iron Age Central Adriatic Italy (Marche). During my DPhil I began teaching for the Open University, as an Associate Lecturer, and also for the Department of Classics and School of Continuing Education at Reading University. For several years I worked in the School of Continuing Education (Reading University), where I was responsible first for Archaeology and Ancient History, then for all the short course and Certificate of HE programmes. I continued to work as an Associate Lecturer and began teaching on the Oxford University Continuing Education weekly class and Summer School programmes. I joined the Department of Classical Studies at the Open University as a lecturer in September 2012.</p>
