My master's thesis entitled 'Hidden Treasures' looked at an unpublished collection of Egyptian antiquities housed in Nottingham Castle Museum and aimed to properly document and research the objects for the first time and trace their 19th century CE journey from Egypt to the English Midlands. This work fit into my wider research interests of the decolonisation of 19th/20th century CE antiquity collections in British museums. I believe in the importance of highlighting provenance and acquisition histories and making collections more accessible to the general public. More broadly speaking, I am interested in the archaeology and material culture of the everyday, particularly examining the lives of the non-elite, women, and children; the ethics of mortuary archaeology; and the importance of decolonising the disciplines of Egyptology, archaeology, Classics, and history. My background in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History means I am also interested in the Graeco-Roman era of Egyptian history and areas and periods of cultural exchange and interaction.
