Area of interest: Medieval Artwork of Northern Europe

Kirsten Lutley is a second-year MA student. She is interested in themes of the body as a tool to communicate social and cultural beliefs through artwork, objects of devotional practice and ritual, Jewish representation, the formation of shared identities, and the afterlives of medieval artwork.

She recently presented her paper, "The Douce Apocalypse: Projections and Reflections" for Identity in Flux, an interdisciplinary conference hosted by Brown and UNC.

She is also a coordinator for the 2023-24 Daniel H. Silberberg Lecture Series, "Othering & Otherness", focused on the creation of social categories and the ways in which media is used in their proliferation.
