As an ancient historian and archaeologist, my research focuses on expanding the narrow story we tell about the ancient Greeks by examining their overlooked migrations and diasporas, which represent--literally--the other half of their story.  I adopt a two-pronged approach: first, by paying close attention to the underlying ancient and modern historiographies to understand how this situation developed and how it can be rectified, and, second, by adopting a multi- and interdisciplinary methodology that is theoretically informed.
