Emma-Jayne (E-J) Graham is Senior Lecturer in Classical Studies at the Open University. She is an archaeologist whose research focuses largely on Roman Italy, with a particular interest in material culture and the human body. She has published on burial practices and the treatment of the dead, as well as infant health, ancient disability and votive cult practice, and she is currently working on a book about material culture and the body in Roman religion. She also likes playing tennis (although grudgingly admits that her chances of ever winning Wimbledon are slim) and is slightly obsessed with penguins.
