Elizabeth Frood


Elizabeth Anne Frood is a New Zealand-born British Egyptologist and academic, who specialises in self-presentation and the study of non-royals. Since 2011, she has been an associate professor of Egyptology at the University of Oxford. She is also director of its Griffith Institute and a Fellow of St Cross College, Oxford. In 2015, following a infection which developed into sepsis, she had both her legs amputated below the knee, lost the hearing in one ear and most of the use of her hands. She returned to work on a part-time basis in 2016, and undertook her first post-recovery fieldwork trip to Egypt in 2018.
