Molly received her B.A. from the University of Michigan in 2018 in Classical Archaeology and Classical Literatures and Languages. Her research focuses on the way ancient Greeks and Romans wrote about and engaged with the material world – including the production, use, and exchange of everyday “things”. Her dissertation examines the presentation of the Roman material world and consumption of food and objects in the Deipnosophists by the Greek author Athenaeus (late 2nd c. CE) with particular considerations of preference, enjoyment, and pleasure derived from material goods. She has excavated in Italy and Greece, most recently with the Molyvoti, Thrace Archaeological Project (MTAP).
