I am a Critical Heritage Studies scholar with a disciplinary background in Archaeology and Anthropology. My PhD research focused on Indigenous perceptions of the impacts of climate change on their heritage. I have expertise in intangible heritage, ciritical heritage studies, ethnographic study, cultural heritage law, food studies, and indigenous studies.
I am now a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at SOAS looking at the influence of the popularisation of Israeli cuisine on Jewish diasporic foodways, and, in particular, the effects this has had on the inclusion on Jews of MENA descent living in the diaspora.
