Learning from the Levant – Episode 11: Alice Lubbock and Eman Shahin

Eman Shahin and Alice Lubbock talk about the BIRI Project Women Transcending Boundaries, a project which uncovers the intertwined lives of women who shaped archaeology and heritage work across many regions. Using the archives of the British International Research Institutes (BIRI), they trace how letters, photographs, field notes and personal writings reveal an interconnected history of women whose contributions were often overlooked.
