Ellie Mackin Roberts

Dr. Ellie Mackin Roberts is Lecturer in Classical Art and Archaeology at King's College London. Holding a BA(Hons)/MA from Monash University and PhD from KCL (2015), her research explores ancient Greek religion through material culture frameworks with emphasis on sensory responses to religious artifacts, political-religious intersections in archaic/classical Athens, and gender dimensions of religious practice.

Her scholarship examines religious materiality, particularly representations of underworld deities in art and architecture, ritual weaving practices (e.g., Arrhephoroi ceremonies), and performance aspects of mythological figures like Persephone. Recent publications analyze material expressions of religious devotion and embodied ritual practices.

She founded the Women's Classical Committee UK and serves as editor-in-chief of Assemblywomen, a peer-reviewed video journal. Public engagement includes educational content creation on digital platforms and school outreach programs.
