Juliette Calvarin earned her BA in European and North-American history from Yale University in 2013, and her PhD in Art History from Harvard University in 2021. Her dissertation, supervised by Jeffrey Hamburger and Evelin Wetter (Abegg-Stiftung), was titled “Ornamenta Sacerdotum: Marian Chasubles for Priestly Bodies in pre-Hussite Prague” and explored the significance of both liturgical vestments and Marian imagery for the self-understanding of the clergy in the later Middle Ages. This dissertation research was supported by fellowships at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich and the Institut für europäische Geschichte in Mainz. Since July 2021, she is part of the group “Bildkulturen des Mittelalters” led by Prof. Kathrin Müller.

Research interests
