About
Laura is a BA Archaeology and History graduate from the class of 2023 at the University of Southampton. She is about to begin a Masters in Maritime Archaeology in September at the same university. Passionate about early modern history, art history, underwater and land heritage as well as the archaeological aspects of history, she is excited to further her research on the part women played in all of these fields. For her undergraduate dissertation, Laura studied plundered art throughout the Nazi regime and the restitution efforts that have been in place - and developing - since the end of the second World War. During this research she uncovered and researched several different women who were key not only to her research but also to the salvation of art and dissemination of information about restitution. As a Brazilian, she is very interested in international women's history and wishes to bring to light some important historical figures that might not be known to most - even if the woman made part of their own country's history.
