Geirr Kristian Homme Lunden, University of Basel, Switzerland: 2023-2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Geirr Lunden was Chair of the Permanent Committee (2024-2025). He is a doctoral student at the University of Basel in Switzerland, situated in both the Department of Ancient Civilizations and the graduate school eikones \u2013 Center for the theory and history of the image. He has previously attained his MA(Res) in Egyptology at Leiden University\u2019s department of Classics and Ancient Civilizations in the Netherlands, and his BA in Egyptology at Swansea University in Wales. For his PhD research, Geirr focuses on the concept of artistic tradition in ancient Egyptian society, and how the modern idea of what a tradition should be like has affected the way in which we perceive meanings and practices that were part of ancient Egyptian lives. Materially, the focus is on images of the Nile marsh in ancient Egyptian tombs of the Old through the New Kingdom, and Egyptological art history of the 19th<\/sup> and 20th<\/sup> centuries. As such, his research interests are particularly embedded in the art history of ancient Egypt, and the scientific history of Egyptology. In both topics, he has a particular focus on the consideration of over- and underrepresented views. He was also the head of the organizing committee at the CRE 2023 in Basel.<\/p>\n

Ms. Jacqueline M. Huwyler, University of Basel, Switzerland: 2021-2023<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jacqueline is a doctoral student in Egyptology in the University of Basel\u2019s Department of Ancient Civilizations. Her research focuses on the introduction of the Near Eastern deity Anat into Egyptian religion from as early as the Second Intermediate Period to the end of the New Kingdom. Her research attempts to return agency to the people behind the artifacts, to better understand cultural contact and its resulting influence on Egyptian culture and religion, both at a governmental and non-governmental level. Why was Anat so intriguing to the Egyptian population, and how and why did information about her spread? To analyze this, Jacqueline has compiled a publishable database of all known evidences of Anat up until the end of the New Kingdom. Jacqueline holds an M.A. with distinction in Egyptian Archaeology from the University College London (UCL), and a B.A. <\/span>cum laude<\/em> <\/i><\/span>in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College (Pennsylvania, USA). As a specialist in Egyptian identity studies and foreign interactions, Jacqueline’s masters thesis focused on cultural contact and identity at 12th and 13th dynasty Egyptian fortresses in Nubia. Jacqueline is published with Archaeopress, has excavated in Thebes, Cyprus, Jerusalem, and Kent (Britain), and has worked for numerous museums, such as the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the UCL Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, and the Antikenmuseum Basel. She also has experience organizing conferences, and has been active in the CRE since 2017. In her free time, Jacqueline works as a freelance editor and translator for Egyptological and Archaeological papers in English and German.<\/span><\/p>\n
