Education in Graeco-Roman Egypt: An Intercultural Approach
Education in Graeco-Roman Egypt: An Intercultural Approach
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher with the EduGRE Project in the CAHRT Department at the University of Exeter, where I contribute my expertise in Demotic, a phase of the Egyptian language attested between the 7th century BCE and the 5th century CE.
I hold a BA and MA in Conservation of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology, Literature and History of the Ancient Near East from the University of Venice, and an MA in Egyptology from the University of Liverpool, where I also pursued my PhD with funding from the AHRC-NWCDTP.
My research examines the Egyptian language in its various stages in parallel with Greek, engaging with philology, palaeography, papyrology, and epigraphy. I investigate diglossia and bilingualism within the multilingual and multicultural context of Graeco-Roman Egypt, employing sociolinguistic frameworks to analyse language contact and the processes of inter- and intralingual translation in antiquity.
I have taught Classics and Egyptology at the University of Liverpool and participated in archaeological excavations across Italy, the UK, and Egypt. In addition to my research, I serve as an Editor for the New Classicists Journal and as a member of the CRE Editing Committee.
