Alexis Gorby

Alexis Gorby is a DPhil (PhD) candidate in Archaeology at the University of Oxford who is involved in several projects at the Ashmolean Museum.35 She is one of the co-principal investigators of the Talking Memory program at the Ashmolean Museum, which is an initiative focused on engaging older adults with museum objects and exploring themes of memory.46

Research and Academic Work

Alexis Gorby's research appears to focus on archaeology, but she has also demonstrated expertise in other areas:

• She has led sessions on late antique mosaics as part of the Krasis program at the Ashmolean.2
• Her work involves collaborating with Jim Harris, the Teaching Curator at the Ashmolean Museum.1

Involvement with Ashmolean Programs

Gorby is actively involved in several educational and public engagement initiatives at the Ashmolean:

• Talking Memory: She co-leads this program, which is designed to engage older adults with museum objects and explore themes of memory.46
• Krasis: She has participated in this interdisciplinary teaching and learning program, which brings together early career researchers and undergraduates.2

Public Engagement

Alexis Gorby is involved in public outreach and education:

• She organizes workshops at the Ashmolean, such as the Talking Memory workshop, where participants explore museum objects and engage in creative activities related to memory.6
• She uses social media, particularly Twitter (X), to share information about her work and upcoming events at the museum.67

While I don't have specific information about her LinkedIn profile, her academic affiliation and involvement with the Ashmolean Museum suggest she is an early-career researcher actively engaged in both academic research and public-facing museum work.
