About
Vice Chair of the Egypt Exploration Society.
Mr John J Johnston was elected to the Board for the first time at the AGM in December 2009, and re-elected in December 2012, and has been Vice-Chair of the Society since 2010. John has, during his first three years on the Board of Trustees, utilised his administrative and legal experience, gained over many years in both public and private sectors, to develop the Society’s vision and strategies in order to address more robustly the specific challenges of the current financial climate and the twenty-first century, generally. In addition to fulfilling his various duties as Vice-Chair of the Trustees, he was substantially involved in the organisation of the successful Third British Egyptology Congress in 2010 and has delivered a number of lectures for the Society on topics as diverse as the god Seth, the depiction of Egyptology in film and the history of the Society. John continues to study part-time for his PhD at University College London, where he has been a regular contributor to both BA and MA courses, looking specifically at mortuary archaeology and the history of Egyptology. In addition to this purely academic work, John is committed to the importance of widening participation and public engagement in academia; he lectures regularly to societies and groups throughout the UK and has been invited to speak at institutions such as the British Museum, the National Museum of Scotland, the Hunterian Museum, London, and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. He is a frequent lecturer at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology and has been an active Committee member of the Friends of the Petrie Museum since 2008. He has contributed to documentaries for forthcoming DVD and Blu-Ray releases, examining the reception of ancient Egypt in the cinema. John is joint-editor of Narratives of Egypt and the Ancient Near East: Literary and Linguistic Approaches (Peeters, 2011) and is presently working on two other volumes and a number of articles, many of which should see print over the next twelve months. He remains involved in the Society’s Oral History Project and sits on the Editorial Board of Egyptian Archaeology .
