Dr Anna Simandiraki-Grimshaw

I am an Archaeology tutor in Professional and Continuing Education at the University of Cambridge, where I enjoy working with the cohorts of really engaged students and impeccably supportive colleagues. Beyond Cambridge, I am currently primarily a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology at UCL and a Departmental Tutor in Archaeology at the Continuing Education Department of the University of Oxford. I have lectured at and designed learning materials for 17 institutions, mostly in the UK, and hold a Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I have additional professional experience as an interdisciplinary researcher, educator and research facilitator.

I trained in Archaeology (especially Aegean Bronze Age - Hellenistic Greek), Classics and History (Ancient and Modern), History of Western Art, and Education. I research, publish and present extensively on heritage, archaeology, analogue and digital experimentation, museology, the impact and uses of heritage (incl. reception), and international education. Because I’m passionate about quality research, I am an AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) Peer Review College Member and a Permanent Fellow at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Hermann von Helmholtz-Zentrum für Kulturtechnik, Germany.
