ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR Ari Blackford, M.A., Associate
Director and Academic Advisor
Blackford spent her undergraduate and graduate years studying art history, and has a special interest in artwork produced during the medieval and Renaissance periods in northern Europe. For her masters thesis, Blackford explored the relationship between text and image in the earliest known illustrated handbook on witchcraft used by witch-hunters in the 15th-16th centuries. She is particularly interested in the development of the print trade in early modern Europe and the ways in which visual images were used to disseminate information in predominately illiterate communities. She also designed and taught an interdisciplinary mini-course in fall 2005 titled "Art in the Age of the Witch Hunts," an art-historical exploration of the artwork created during the height of the "witch craze" in early modern Europe. |
