architecture of early Christianity and the Middle Ages. He has a
particular interest in the ritual, liturgical arts, representations of
women and children, as well as the material culture of these periods.

tunics decorated with New Testament scenes to medieval tombs and
Byzantine transvestite nuns. He is currently preparing a monograph on
the interaction of architecture and ritual in the medieval churches of
Constantinople.
