Congratulations to Elissa who has graduated from her Master’s at the University of Southampton! 

I have recently graduated from my MA at the University of Southampton, supported by the HFF. Over the last year, I have developed many skills that took my academic journey to higher grounds. The final semester included my thesis about “Public Engagement With Maritime Cultural Heritage in Museums: Lebanon as a Case Study”, and it was my first independent academic research. I plan to keep working towards understanding the shaping of the Lebanese identity, the public’s relationship with their heritage and the mediums of outreach that maritime archaeologists can work on to enhance this relationship. I am looking forward for my new academic chapter. (Elissa Nader)
