研究关注的焦点

My research thus far has focused primarily on objects from early medieval (ca. 600-900) Ireland and Great Britain, with special emphasis on manuscripts such as the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels. I am particularly interested in developing ways to think more expansively about the place of ornament and calligraphic writing in Medieval 艺术 and western art history more broadly.

Since 2010, I have been a core member of the Material Collective, a collaborative working group of art historians dedicated to fostering innovative and humane research 在人文学科.

教学

In my teaching, my first priority is to instill the educational values that I believe to be at the core of the liberal arts philosophy: curiosity, interdisciplinary exchange, precise and creative 思考, respect for others, and the pure pleasure of inquiry 和发现. Alongside these values I try to help students develop the skills that will help them succeed in school and in their future as professionals and lifelong 学习者. Chief among these skills are active reading, precise writing, sophisticated research methods, and the development of rich and fruitful questions. 同样重要的 are those skills particularly crucial to the work of art history: careful and patient observation, an awareness of process and materials, an understanding of metaphor and symbolism, and the development of a delicate balance between intuitive and analytical 思考.
