I read Classics for my BA and MA at the University of Athens before I completed my MA in Cultural Heritage Studies at UCL. During my master's in heritage studies, I focused on the tangible/intangible heritage distinction and the involvement of local communities in heritage management. For my dissertation I explored the relationship between TCH and ICH, and how this relationship is perceived and experienced by the local community of the Cycladic island of Tinos in Greece. Currently, I am a first-year PhD student, and my project focuses on gender performativity within cultural heritage discourse, and how gender can help us deconstruct the tangible/intangible heritage distinction.
