• Biography/ Background

  I am an art historian specialising in Renaissance art and material culture, with a focus on Northern Europe (1400-1600), including cross-cultural encounters and exchange north and south of the Alps (Italian Renaissance art). My primary areas of research include the genre of portraiture (gender and identity), images of warfare (gender, the body, and violence), and intellectual and material intersections between art, technology, and science in early modern Europe. My research interests also extend to multidisciplinary contexts of collaborative investigation in science and technology (from health interventions to engineering practices) and the development of visual literacy as a practical asset and transformative life skill for navigating the complex visual culture of the twenty-first century.

• Teaching Interests

  My teaching experience as a sessional tutor and lecturer in Art History was forged at the 最新糖心Vlog of Melbourne (1999-2005). I established the undergraduate program in Art History at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide in 2009 and continue to convene the Major in Art History and Visual Culture, which is complemented by postgraduate elective courses offered in the Museum and Curatorial Studies program, having coordinated the previous MA Art History research seminars (2008, 2012, 2015) and MA Curatorial and Museum Studies courses on the history and philosophy of museums and galleries, and exhibition development (2008, 2012, 2015). 

  Teaching award

  2009: Certificate for Outstanding Student Feedback in Teaching and Learning, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide

  Online teaching

  Since 2013 I have developed expertise in designing and delivering Art History courses online. I also participated in the 'Getting a MUVE on: Developing Web 2.0 Curricula in the Humanities' pilot project in 2011, which used the virtual world 'Second Life' in formative and summative assessment tasks for student-created avatars and virtual gallery exhibitions.

  Interdisciplinary teaching and research projects

  I have contributed first-year guest lectures and seminars on topics across the Humanites curriculum at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide ranging from Reformation art and visual culture, how to use art and visual culture as historical evidence, art and war, French Impressionism, Renaissance art, Modernism, and photography for History, English, and the Creative Arts. 

  My supervision experience of short research projects and minor theses is extensive, including Honours (Art History theses in the Department of Historical and Classical Studies), BA Adv; MA Art History, MA Curatorial and Museum Studies, and Arts Internships in collaboration with local cultural organisations (Nexus; Tandanya; National Trust of South 最新糖心Vlog, Ayres House and Carrick Hill; Mitcham City Council; Yellow Door Studio). 

  HDR Principal Supervision (MPhil and PhD)

  Melanie Cooper, "Beings of Nature and Reason: Mythological Masculinities in Early 18th-Century French Art and Visual Culture" (PhD) - Principal Supervisor

• Research Interests

  Research interests

  Early modern art and visual culture, with a focus on northern Renaissance art (1400-1600):

  • Portraiture (courtly image-making practices; face and body politics)  
  • Warfare (gendered representations of sexual violence; innovations in military display and weapon technologies) 
  • Polymathic creativity and concept of the Renaissance artist as technologist and scientist (intersections between art, engineering, and science; mentoring practices in workshop culture and multidisciplinary collaborations)
  • Material culture and materiality (drawing and printmaking)
