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 questions
of individual and group identities, and the concepts and use of space. This
is all underpinned by sensory studies; specifically, the development and application
of multisensory approaches to understanding people's construction,
experience and use of urban and ritual space, and phenomenological
approaches to ancient Italic sacred landscapes. I 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"

style="float:right; height:141px; margin:5px; width:250px" />I graduated from Reading
University with a degree in Classical Studies with Major Latin, immediately followed
by an MA in the City of Rome. 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> |
