on tensions between business and society. I am investigating the
effects of stigmatisation on the regulation of the cannabis market
in the US, scaling social innovation in refugee integration in
Germany, and the organisational transformation of banks
implementing sustainability for impact in Switzerland.

Over the last year my time at the Ashmolean
Museum has largely been spent in
preparation of the exhibition, Labyrinth:
Knossos, Myth and Reality (February–July
2023). It is an exhibition that I pitched at my
interview for the newly-endowed post of Sir
Arthur Evans Curator in Bronze Age and
Classical Greece. Upon starting the job at
the end of 2018 I set about negotiating a list of loan objects with
our partners in Crete: it will be the first time that some of the
finds excavated by Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos will have left the
island. In Oxford they will be displayed alongside original
documents from the excavation archive held by the Ashmolean.
In 2022 my book Human-Animal Relations in Bronze Age Crete:
A History through Objects (CUP) was published, and I worked
with the Greek Archaeological Service and University of
Toronto as co-director of excavations at Palaikastro in eastern
Crete. There, with a team which included students from
Oxford, we investigated Minoan remains that are becoming
visible along the beach as a result of coastal erosion.
