Talia Sankari
Talia is a writer and PhD student studying the history and archaeology of the ancient world at New York University. Her areas of interest include the ancient Levant and Eastern Mediterranean including ancient Greece, archaeology of the ancient Near East, bioarchaeology, and paleopathology. Talia speaks Spanish and Arabic (as a proud Syrian) and is hoping to add a few more languages to that list in the coming years. When she's not writing, reading, or lifting weights, you can find her on the hunt for the best croissant in New York City.
