Elizabeth Frood
Elizabeth Anne Frood (born 1975) is a New Zealand-born British Egyptologist and academic, who specialises in self-presentation and the study of non-royals. Since 2011, she has been an associate professor of Egyptology at the University of Oxford. She is also director of its Griffith Institute and a Fellow of St Cross College, Oxford.[1][2] In 2015, following a infection which developed into sepsis, she had both her legs amputated below the knee, lost the hearing in one ear and most of the use of her hands.[3][4] She returned to work on a part-time basis in 2016,[5] and undertook her first post-recovery fieldwork trip to Egypt in 2018.[6][7]
