It's more difficult in my case. Since 2014 I have been working with the Evangelical institution Museum of the Bible, and my affiliation with them has in many circles damaged my own reputation. On one side, I have endured enormous criticism for working with the group that actively propagates an American Christian political agenda, and has been complicit in the illegal antiquities market that destroys cultural heritage and promotes looting and extortion. On the other side I have also made powerful enemies for my exposure of careless vetting practices in academic circles of artefacts, and a number of these people can impede the possibility of my employment.
