Dr Anna Garnett 

Curator of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology, UCL 

I have worked at several local, national and university museums in the UK over the past 20 years. I earned my PhD from the University of Liverpool, and have also worked on archaeological sites in Egypt and Sudan for over 10 years. I’m especially passionate about using archaeological collections in object-based learning. 

Lightning talk: Women and Hieroglyphs at UCL: A Lasting Legacy 

UCL was at the core of the development of teaching and learning ancient languages in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This short talk will present a current UCL student collaboration exploring the vital impact of female teachers and students at UCL in teaching ancient Egyptian languages, and the legacy of their work today – 200 years since the translation of hieroglyphs in 1822.
