About
I am an anthropologist and a digital humanist working on built, historic, and mediated environments. My work focuses on space, place and landscape, borders and borderlands, and liminal spaces of transition, displacement, or contestation with a regional focus on Greece, Southeast Europe, and the Mediterranean. I am also interested in the dynamics between physical and digital spaces especially as shaped through mapping, data visualization and the design of information environments for learning, research, and storytelling.

“The Planet Bethlehem Archive”
Developer, Data Migration Consultant.
Project leader: Dr. Jacob Norris, University of Sussex
The Planet Bethlehem Archive brings together digital resources that document Bethlehem’s history of global connectivity. Every Bethlehem family has a story of migration, dislocation and adaptation to tell. Since the 19th century, Bethlehemites have been travelling and settling all over the world. Today, around half a million people of Bethlehem origin reside in the Americas alone. In Bethlehem itself, a culture of openness and creativity has long prevailed, enhanced by recent waves of refugees and economic migrants into the city. The Planet Bethlehem Archive provides a platform for people to explore Bethlehem’s vibrant culture and learn about its unique diasporic heritage. Many of the archive’s materials have been donated by individual families and we welcome further contributions.
