Biographical note

Dr Stephanie Boonstra is the Managing Editor of the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology and also manages the Egypt Exploration Society’s library, archive, papyrus and cartonnage collections. She is currently a member of the Amarna Project excavation team researching the Great Aten Temple faience inlays. Stephanie completed her PhD at the University of Birmingham, focusing on the production of 18th Dynasty scarab amulets. She was Museum Curator of Egyptology at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery, where she curated the ‘Life and Death in Ancient Egypt’ permanent galleries.

Dr Campbell Price is Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Egypt Exploration Society, and Curator of Egypt and Sudan at Manchester Museum, one of the most significant collections of Egyptian objects in the UK. In this role Campbell confronts daily the public (mis)perception of Ancient Egypt, and aims to explain aspects of the culture and why it matters today. His fieldwork and museum-work in Egypt itself has fostered links that he continues to develop. Campbell believes the EES is a key vehicle for both the connection of specialists and engagement with broader audiences in the UK and Egypt.
