I am aÌýLecturer in Museum and Heritage Studies. My current work is about engaging with marginalised communities whose heritages have been suppressed. Although I’m interested in this problem at a global scale, I work in particular withÌýthe Greek Communities of Istanbul. ThisÌýinvolves working withÌýminorityÌýGreek-Istanbuli groups in Istanbul and Athens to develop online 'memory maps' and a documentary film. The projectÌýaims to saveÌýcommunityÌýmemories at risk, giving voice, andÌýincreasing awareness and visibilityÌýof hidden or silenced memories that are rarely recognised in official heritage. My work linksÌýanthropological heritage and memory research with digital practice and filmmaking. My current memory map is availableÌýÌýand documentary film isÌý.

After an MPhil on Ottoman art at Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul and an MA in Museum Studies at Newcastle University, I worked in museums in the UK and on archaeological excavationsÌýin the Middle East. I then returned to study with a Ph.D. atÌýÌýat Humboldt University in Berlin,Ìýwith a thesis on Turkish historical museums and memory cultures. This turned into my first bookÌý. I am currently working on a new book:ÌýWorlds of Memory and Sensory Heritage: Living with the Past in the Greek Communities of Istanbul, under contract with Routledge.Ìý

I was a Research Associate on the EU-funded projectÌýe projectÌýand the Katip Çelebi Newton FundÌýprojectÌý. Each of these has led to book publications including:ÌýÌýandÌý.

I am a series co-editor with Prof Laurajane Smith at The Australian National University: .

I have made two major documentary films. The first, , co-directed with Dr Cem Hakverdi. It has been screened in public events in Greece, Turkey, Australia, Germany and the UK. It was shortlisted for 2021 AHRC Research Film of the Year, won the best second- award at the London Greek Film Festival in 2021, was selected for Chania Film Festival 2022, and is available on the Greek national TV channel, . My most recent film, co-directed with Dr Evripidis Karydis, is The Journey and the Grief. This film won best documentary at the London Greek Film Festival 2023. The film premiere's took place at the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle. It will be available online soon. The films are part of a trilogy that examines the histories, heritages, and experiences of the Greek populations of Turkey, exploring themes connected to forced displacement, marginalisation, belonging, and memory practice across generations. I am currently working on the final film in the trilogy.
