Hi! I'm Christis Shepard, a fourth year Museum Studies major and Archeology minor! I've focused heavily on archives, collection management, and archeology while here at RIT! I plan on graduating this May so that's exciting! I hope to go onto graduate school for my Masters in a few years.
I plan to do my final thesis on the evolution of the cultures of the Aegean from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic Era and how it's reflected on the literature and the archaeological record, with a focus on how it affected women. The culmination would be a exhibition proposal mock up done in Sketchup!
I've linked my website if anyone is curious about some of my other work:

Interesting idea! Im curious on if you plan on doing a physical exhibition or not. I know that physical exhibitions can be a lot of work, but very rewarding. I encourage you to look at some of the exhibitions from last year!
ReplyDeleteExciting to see your ideas crystallize around your interests, Christis! In addition to consulting literature, be sure to hone in on collections. You might look at museums/universities that hosted major expeditions, such as British Museum/Library, Penn, Harvard...https://hmane.harvard.edu/collections#:~:text=Collections%20%7C%20Harvard%20Museum%20of%20the%20Ancient%20Near%20East. Keep going!
