About me

I am a lecturer in museum studies at the Department of Communication, Media, and Culture of Panteion University, and in the MA Public History program of the Hellenic Open University. Since 2017, I have been co-chairing Heterotopia, designing and staging museum theatre performances in archaeological sites and various museums. Currently, I lead new research focusing on the use of museum theatre and digital media in the interpretation of cultural heritage. I graduated from the Department of Theatre Studies of the University of Athens. Following this, I pursued postgraduate studies in Cultural Management at the Department of Communication, Media, and Culture of Panteion University, supported by the State Scholarship Foundation. I hold a PhD in museum theatre from the University of Thessaly, funded by scholarships from the Leventis Foundation and the Papadakis endowment. My post-doctoral research on the use of dialogical practices in museums was carried out at the Department of Communication, Media, and Culture of Panteion University, funded by the State Scholarship Foundation (IKY). I have taught at various institutions including the MA Creative Writing, Theatre, and Cultural Industries program at the University of Peloponnese (2023-24), the Department of Theatre Studies at the University of Athens (2021-2022), and the Department of Archives, Library Science, and Museology at Ionian University (2019-2020). Additionally, I have been involved in teaching at the Public History (2019-2022) and Creative Writing (2018, 2019) postgraduate programs of Hellenic Open University. I have also been a member of research teams on several projects focused on creating digital storytelling applications for heritage interpretation. My research interests include museum learning, heritage interpretation, digital storytelling, public history, history education, with a focus on the social impact of heritage communication.
