Starting from academic year 2015-2016, Stefania Gerevini will join the Department of Policy Analysis and Public Management as Assistant Professor and she will be teaching Method, Critique and Research in Artistic Disciplins and Art and Politics, a new course on arts and political identity in the pre-modern Mediterranean area.
 
An art historian of Medieval and Byzantine art, her research interests focus mainly on artistic interexchange, on conflict and on cultural identities in the Medieval Mediterranean area, the relationship between visual cultures and public memory and the conceptions of light and the related artistic applications during the Middle Ages.
 
Concerning extra academic activities, says Professor Gerevini: “When I’m not working or visiting exhibitions and Medieval sites, I love dancing swing. I hope I can continue once in Milan!”.
