You are invited to join an HAD Faculty Conversations by Jennifer Miyuki Babcock, “A Work in Progress: Mapping the Wandering Goddess”
Date: Postponed (TBA)
Time: Postponed (TBA)
Venue: Postponed (TBA)
About the Project: Hathor, one of the world’s first imperial goddesses, absorbed numerous Egyptian, Nubian, and Levantine divinities into her multifaceted identity. The ancient Egyptians described her as “wandering” due to her many mythic journeys and manifestations. This digital project, born from my 2022 book, centers Hathor to foreground the divine feminine in Egypt and to explore the deeply intertwined nature of ancient Egyptian religion at both national and local levels. In this lecture, I will discuss the project’s origins, current status, and long-term goals.
About the Speaker: Jennifer Miyuki Babcock specializes in ancient Egyptian and Nubian art and archaeology. Her research explores cross-cultural parallels with other ancient and modern African cultures, examining how material and visual culture support the concept of divine kingship. She is also interested in artifacts and imagery that reflect personal piety, offering a compelling contrast to the royal and elite experience.
