Supernumerary Fellow in Egyptology; Associate Professor of Egyptology and Coptic Studies; Director of the Griffith Institute

Teaching

My teaching covers a broad variety of aspects of ancient Egypt: history, civilization, religion, society, religion, everyday life. In the field of Egyptian languages and texts my teaching focuses on Middle Egyptian, Demotic, Coptic and Ptolemaic Hieroglyphs.

Research

My main research interests include Demotic and Greek papyrology, especially the socio-economic history of Graeco-Roman Egypt, but also topics like bilingualism, prosopography and onomastics. Furthermore, I am concerned with issues of the relationship between religion and politics.
