Sarah is an MA student in the Department of Classics and Religion. She acquired her undergraduate degree at the University of Calgary and was excited to continue her work here. She focuses on imperial Roman women and is currently working on identifying elite Roman women's autonomy within classical literature through a method derived from modern feminist philosophy and discourse. She has also worked within the University Nickle Gallery, chronologically organizing the coins of Roman Egypt, while writing a quantitative analysis on representations of women in coinage from Roman Egypt during the reign of Emperor Maximian, 286-305 CE.
