WUN-IDENTIFIED RESEARCH COLLABORATION THEMES:
Multilingualism in the Middle Ages:
This theme is connected to a certain extent with my study of San Marco in Venice and the ways in which Byzantine visual culture is --including images, spolia and relics--interpreted and adapted for political and religious motivations in the basilica of San Marco after the Fourth Crusade.
History of the Medieval Book:
This theme relates more to my teaching than to my current research interests.
Medieval Chronicle Studies:
Do you have any other ideas for themes that might be of broad academic interest to other medievalists?:
The Cult of the Saints
The Body and Representation
Ph.D.s UNDER SUPERVISION:
STAFF EXCHANGES/ONLINE RESOURCE CREATION/VIDEOCONFERENCING:
Yes, I am interested in staff exchanges with WUN partner institutions, and in being involved in the development of online research resources, especially in the area of images.
MEDIEVAL COURSES TAUGHT:
Early Christian and Byzantine Art
Romanesque and Gothic Art and Architecture
Death and the Afterlife in Medieval Art
