Professor Maria Isabel D'Agostino Fleming – or rather, Mabel – is today closely associated with LARP, the Laboratory of Roman Provincial Archaeology, which she founded at MAE in 2010 to encourage research on the Roman provincial world. But beyond her work at LARP as a researcher, teacher and supervisor, her academic career is closely intertwined with the history of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology itself – both the "old MAE" and the "new MAE" – where she always devoted herself with great enthusiasm to the tasks inherent in a university institution of the "Museum" type. Mabel's institutional commitment always places her in the struggles for recognition of the role of Museums, and especially of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, at the University of São Paulo. Prof. Maria Isabel D'Agostino Fleming is a complete example of what it means to be a lecturer in a University Museum.
