Mind’s Eye tells the stories behind research projects on Missouri State’s campus.

April 11, 2022 by Strategic Communication

The research of Dr. Julia Troche has been selected for the 2022 issue of Mind’s Eye, the university’s research publication.

Her story, which focuses on her interests in power structures and death in the ancient world, was recently posted on the site.

Here’s an excerpt from the story:

A key goal of Troche’s research is to analyze and present information from a different angle than the way it has been taught or described in publications.

That’s why in addressing power in her book, Troche includes both top-down and bottom-up power. Instead of focusing only on the king’s actions, she also highlights what the elites and other Egyptians did.

“When we think about power, we don’t just look at the one in charge. We also have to think about all the other people – the subjugated others,” she said. “It doesn’t mean they don’t have agency and power because they’re subjugated.”

Congratulations, Dr. Troche!
