I am currently a PhD candidate at the University of Greenwich researching British Archaeology in Palestine from 1890-1930. I primarily research the history of archaeology. I take an approach which draws from a variety of scholarly approaches such as history, archaeological theory, cultural studies and  post-colonial studies, to critically interrogate the relationship between the past and the present. I am especially interested in the power and political use of the past, and how archaeology developed as, and continues to be, a colonial discipline.
