This year my research focused on the representation of suicide in late antique and medieval visual and intellectual culture. Expanding on my dissertation (Boston University, 2014), I am examining the iconography of suicide in sculpture and illuminated manuscripts in relation to theological discourses and ritual, the reception of antiquity, courtly love, and medieval theories of emotions. I also continued my work in the digital humanities and research on the art of the medieval Baltic. I published two articles on digital art history, one as single author and one as coauthor, and a book review, and I presented papers in Cortona, Italy, and Reykjavík, Iceland.
