HI
THE
RE
! 

I'm Judit. I'm an art history major gone awry, re: a geoarchaeologist working in geophysics.

I study the Earth's magnetic field in the past by burning ancient soils and stuff (and the other way around: I analyze archaeological burnt materials through their magnetic properties).

But,
seriously,
what the heck I'm actually doing?

I also meddle with magnetic mineralography, environmental magnetism, XRD, and colorimetry, mainly applied to different kinds of iron oxides.

AFRICAN CINEMAS &
FILM FESTIVALS.

Epistemological justice & decolonization of knowledge.

Identity through community / Community as identity.

Haptic cinemas and other non-scopocentric perceptions of the moving image.

Film festivals as loci of (potential) revolutionary conviviality.

Representation politics.

Everything against homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, and so on.

Antifascism, too.

UNIONIZE!

Emotional labor, care culture, and the like.

Brazilian Portuguese.

(Weird) music.

Down with capitalism, generally speaking.

FOOD.

I am a prehistorian at heart, but sometimes life and (bad) data get in the way. After a stint demagnetizing a few Middle Palaeolithic hearths and finding where the North was ca. 60ky BP, I have now turned to the archaeomagnetic study of a
pre-Inka pottery kiln. What ties it all together is the use of the Earth's magnetic field as a tool to retrieve information from different archaeological materials and contexts. My doctoral journey also has to do with my own position as "a theoretically inclined archaeologist" (in Mary Weismantel's words) that performs as a scientist sometimes, and the epistemological implications of it all.
