In this episode of Reclaiming History Part 1 of a multi part series, Lovonia Mallory interviews Dr. Solange Ashby Ph.D. She received her Ph.D. in Egyptology with a specialization in ancient Egyptian language and Nubian religion from the University of Chicago. Her first book, Calling Out to Isis: The Enduring Nubian Presence at Philae, explores the temple of Philae’s history as a Nubian sacred site. Dr. Ashby will join the faculty of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA where she will teach Egyptology and Nubian Studies.
