Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I will consider supervising PhD topics on Renaissance and early modern visual and material culture (c. 1450-1650), especially Italian, with a focus on:
- gender and the body, the nude, sexuality
- imagery in medical and scientific texts;
- body modification - tattoos, cosmetics, shaping the body through diet and exercise;
- recipe texts, experimental history, remaking
- how Renaissance art and material culture, especially nudes, are displayed and contextualised.
