I teach and write on medieval art and material and visual culture from the greater Mediterranean to Eurasia and the Indian Ocean. I am currently completing a book on art and material culture circulating in the Black Sea region during the Middle Ages and another monograph which centers on the sentiment of Hope as a category of artistic creativity. I am the co-editor of the book series Art/Work which is set to narrate a new history of art founded in the study of objects, materials, and technology. I am the author of The Bronze Object in the Middle Ages (2016) and of Die Hildesheimer Avantgarde: Kunst und Kolonialismus im mittelalterlichen Deutschland (2023). I am also the curator of the exhibition Agents of Faith: Votive Objects in Time and Place (2018).
