My research explores questions of ethnicity, religion, landscape, and change in the Roman provinces, particularly how the inhabitants of Rome’s provinces reconfigured their own ideas of themselves and their world in response to Roman rule. My book, Isis in a Global Empire: Greek Identity Through Egyptian Religion in Roman Greece (Cambridge University Press 2022) looks at the worship of Egyptian deities like Isis, Sarapis, and Anubis in Greece during the Roman period and examines how local devotees reconfigured traditional ideas about Greekness in response to their religious practices. Some of my research from this project appeared in American Journal of Archaeology and Hesperia. I have also written on Hellenistic seascapes and migrations, particularly at Delos and in the province of Macedonia, and am currently co-editing a new volume on mobility in antiquity for Routledge. My second book project examines portraiture and other forms of self-fashioning in the Greek city of Thessaloniki during Roman occupation.
I co-direct a digital archaeology project called the Mediterranean Connectivity Initiative. Using social network analysis and GIS mapping, we study how ancient social networks were created over time and space in the Roman Empire. My research has been recognized by awards and fellowships from the Loeb Classical Library Foundation, the German Archaeological Institute, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
