Paula Gheorghiade is a doctoral candidate in the Department of History of Art at the University of Toronto. Her research interests encompass interaction, mobility and exchange in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age; recent discourses on materiality, transculturality, and value as applied to ceramic and exotic imports, copies, skeumorphs and hybrid artifacts; and network science applications to archaeological questions. More specifically, her doctoral thesis takes a relational and empirical approach, grounded in archaeological data, in exploring and contextualizing local and regional interaction on Crete within the larger Mediterranean basin during the Late Bronze Age. Paula has excavated at the Minoan sites of Sissi and Palaikastro (Crete), and she is involved with outreach initiatives related to cultural heritage and public archaeology.
