Lizzie Oakley

Lizzie Oakley is a high school biology and social studies teacher who recently completed a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research in the past has involved classical archaeology, biological archaeology, and anthropological genetics. Her doctoral dissertation investigated how cultural models of science are created and communicated in different types of museums and she currently works to incorporate social and historical perspectives into formal secondary science curriculum. During her time at the University of Pennsylvania, she worked closely with staff at the Penn Museum to plan and execute engaging tours and activities from diverse topics such as monsters in ancient history, the production of garum (Roman fish sauce), the roles of Etruscan women, and alcohol in the ancient world. She has also participated in multiple archaeological digs, both historic and ancient, and conducted her master’s research on the burn patterns of human remains from Herculaneum (a humbling and life-altering experience). She has a passion not just for teaching, but also for learning and she brings this passion to her educational philosophy - that learning should be a lifelong and well-fed practice outside of a classroom.
