A fascination with medieval art and science connects the ceramic sculpture that Graduate Center Ph.D. candidate
Alicia Cannizzo (Art History) creates and the art history she researches. That research has received important recognition with the award of a $30,000 Schallek Fellowship from the Medieval Academy of America and Richard III Society, American Branch. She will use the fellowship to complete her dissertation focusing on a particular category of burial tombs in France and England that reflect the contemporary understanding of material change in the body. Drawing on her study of the history of science, Cannizzo offers a new interpretation of this funerary art of the late Middle Ages.
