In chapter 2 of our new book 📖 🖊️
Emma-Jayne Graham (Open University) examines the procession of Vestals on the #AraPacis, drawing attention to how humans and objects combined to produce a variety of haptic and embodied ritual experiences!

In chapter 3 of our new book 📖 🖊️
Vicky Jewell examines #polychromy in temples of #Mithras, drawing attention to how colours are perceived by ancient writers and how this has contributed to a haptic visual experience of Mithraic ritual spaces!

It was a pleasure to discuss research results from my HORIZON EU MSCA project #CAMRIP with an interdisciplinary audience and fellow members of @viennacogscihub.bsky.social (as evidenced by my huge smile!)
Thank you to CogSciHub for inviting me to present!

In chapter 4 of our new book 📖 🖊️
my co-editor Abigail Graham (@ics.bsky.social) examines ritual dynamics of Salutaris’ procession in Ephesus, drawing attention to how ritual failure can make for a more memorable ritual experience!

I am honoured to be invited by the Vienna Cognitive Science Hub to give a talk on recent research results from my MSCA project CAMRIP on March 12, 2024!
