Congratulations Margaret!

Margaret's graduation, February 2013

We would like to congratulate NPIDA alumnus Margaret E on her recent graduation from a Masters program in Bristol, England! Margaret is the first NPIDA dancer to obtain a Masters degree; congratulations on this significant achievement, Margaret!

In Margaret's own words:

I earned a Masters with Distinction in Archaeology from the University of Bristol. I focused on how archaeological research can benefit from digital media and new technologies. Additionally, I explored how archaeology can be better communicated to a broader audience, resulting in greater engagement with the general public.

For my dissertation, I argued the importance and value of 20th century conflict archaeology. Despite the great volume of archival footage and first-hand accounts, there remain many inaccuracies and secrets that archaeological research can uncover.

Margaret graduated from UBC in 2010, and in October 2011 began graduate studies at the University of Bristol. She completed her Masters in Archaeology in October 2012 and returned to Bristol earlier this month to attend her graduation ceremonies.

Margaret is currently living and working back in Richmond, and hopes to return to the UK in the future for either work or further education in archaeology.
