Lecturer IV, Classical Studies
About
My research focuses on the emergence of complexity in the Aegean and the Mediterranean, specifically, on the so-called "tribes" of Northern Greece, state formations that co-existed with palatial kingdoms and later city states. I study the organization of agricultural production, focusing on changes in agricultural practices and food storage technologies in the Bronze and Iron Age, and their implications for changing political and social dynamics in the region.
I am also currently involved in an ethnographic study on emergent notions of Greek heritage in the context of the Greek crisis. I am directing an ethnographic project in the North Aegean island of Lemnos and in the city of Thessaloniki, working with activist and prankster groups organizing solidarity networks and practicing free seed exchange, barter economy, and art activism.
