Bio

I am a second-year graduate student specializing in archaeology, specifically the archaeology of the Near East/Middle East with a focus on social theory. I am mainly interested in the representation of gender through ornaments such as jewelry, tools, and weaponry that help facilitate gender performances in Mesopotamia, situated within third wave feminist frameworks. My main anthropological training is ethnographic which has helped bridge my current interdisciplinary interests within the greater field of anthropological archaeology.
