I am a specialist in early Mesopotamian and Iranian writing and culture, with a focus on advancing decipherment of the proto-cuneiform and Proto-Elamite scripts– two of the earliest writing systems in the world. My research explores how writing was used as a tool to help organize resources and labour in the early cities and towns of southern Mesopotamia and Iran, as well as exploring issues of gender and class within the workforce.
