Sarah F. Porter is a doctoral candidate in religion at Harvard University with a concentration in New Testament / Early Christianity and a secondary field in Archaeology. She holds an MDiv from Vanderbilt University Divinity School with a concentration in gender, sexuality, and religion. Her research focuses on early Christian material culture, especially in contexts of death and remembering like nekropoleis and martyria. Her current project integrates these interests in the context of fourth-century Antioch, using archaeological and textual evidence alongside spatial and affect theory. She has participated in excavations at Kenchreai (Greece) and Sardis (Turkey), and she has published and presented on museum studies, religion and the senses, and early Christian spaces.
