Devon Lohrasbe
Devon is a PhD student in Educational Studies at the University of Victoria. Her work investigates informal learning and outreach in higher education contexts. Devon is interested in deepening connections between academics and audiences outside the academy, whether that’s the curious public or K-12 teachers and their students.
These interests are informed by her dual background in informal learning and Mediterranean archaeology. In 2020, Devon completed a Masters in Museum Education at the University of British Columbia. Her research explored the ways that classical scholars learn about the ancient world off-campus and how these learning experiences inform their work at universities. Previously, Devon completed an MA in Classical Archaeology and a BA in Classical Civilization at the University of Victoria. Her MA thesis examined the reception of the hybrid Minotaur in fifth-century Athens.
