- About Me
Honorary Research Fellow (School of Divinity, History and Philosophy) University of Aberdeen.
Sandra holds a PhD from the University of Aberdeen funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council UK, having previously completed degrees in Turin (Italy), and Aberdeen (Scotland).
She is interested in how politics and religion shaped cultural outputs, patronage, and devotion in Late Medieval and Renaissance times. She is currently researching on the cultural history and visual imagery of healing and disease. She also works on broader issues such as the role of politics, religion and art in the formation of individual and collective identities.
