Introduction
I hold a PhD in Byzantine Art and Architectural History from the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE) – Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL). Currently, I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Christian Archaeology and Byzantine Art History at Philipps University in Marburg, Germany. In my current research, which combines architectural history, art history, and anthropology, I explore the experience of space during the medieval period, in the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean.
