Although my primary specialisation lies in early modern visual culture, my teaching spans a broad spectrum of art historical knowledge. This includes classical Greek architecture and sculpture, rhetorical traditions, modern architecture with an emphasis on the turn of the 20th century, art theory and historiography. I also teach academic writing and research dissemination. I teach across both bachelor's and master's level programs.

• DKT100 – Introduction to art, theatre and digital culture
