Karen McCluskey was recently awarded a PhD from the Department of Art History and Theory at The University of Sydney. The thesis examined the visual patrimony relating to the cults of local Venetian saints and beati from the 13th and 14th centuries. Karen also holds a Master’s degree in Art History from Queen’s University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from McMaster University, both in Ontario, Canada. Karen has presented numerous academic papers on the socio-political and religious significance of saints and their uncanonised counterparts (beati), with a focus on the implications of their depictions in Venice and Italy generally. Over the past ten years Karen has taught courses on many aspects of Italian, Byzantine and European art, as well as on various themes in Western history, from ancient Greece to the Protestant Reformation. She has been awarded scholarships from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation for Venetian Research, UK; the Ministero degli Affari Esterni, Rome and The University of Sydney. |
