Doctoral Student (Ph.D., May 2017)

Kathryn graduated with honors from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with a B.A. in History and Ancient Mediterranean Studies in 2006. She studied Egyptology for a semester at the American University in Cairo, and her undergraduate thesis at Coe focused on the ethnic and cultural relationships within Ptolemaic Egypt. She graduated with an M.A. in Classics with an emphasis on archaeology from the University of Arizona in 2008, and her Master's thesis there also concentrated on Egypt, this time on the iconography used by the Ptolemaic Queens. From 2009 to 2011, she taught History and Humanities at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. Kathryn has participated in archaeological projects in Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, and Israel, and in 2013 she attended the Eric P. Newman Graduate Summer Seminar in Numismatics. Kathryn's main research interests include the frontiers of the Hellenistic and early Roman worlds, cultural conflict and interaction, borderlands, and coinage. She is currently working on research related to the monetary and non-monetary uses of coins in regions just beyond the Roman Empire, and what those practices can tell us about Roman/local interactions.
