| Introduction | I am a past Research Fellow at the University College of London, and currently teach art history, philosophy of art, and critical studies at the Victoria College of Art, Victoria, BC. I was awarded a Marie Curie Ph.D. Fellowship in 2005 for her interdisciplinary dissertation on Renaissance portrayals of women in art and sixteenth-century Witch Hunt discourses. My publications to date have mainly focused on representations of women and the gendering of evil "defect" in classical humanist discourses, cross-referencing these figures to historical art, natural philosophy, medicine and literature. I also write art and cultural criticism, exploring contemporary post-humanist discourses in art, literature and new media. |
