Chris Matthews

Project Administrator

Chris enjoys working collaboratively towards a shared goal, which makes the MAEASaM project an ideal environment. She has a BA in French with Linguistics from the University of Southampton and an MSt in Modernism from the University of Cambridge.
In her spare time, Chris has ambitions to develop her creative writing skills (is there a novel in there somewhere…) and become a lot better at the piano. She’s also interested in environmental sustainability and in her previous working life wrote sustainability reports for companies.

I wholeheartedly believe in the project’s aims and ambitions, and I find the international dimensions especially interesting. As a complete novice in archaeology, the project is also a wonderful chance to learn while carrying out my role. If I had more time during the day, I’d be dipping constantly into the numerous workshops and seminars on offer in the Department and the McDonald Institute!
