Hi! I'm here! I'm a professor of Islamic Art at UT Austin, president of Middle East Medievalists, formerly known as AUTHOR OF THE CITIZEN KANE OF ISLAM-CENTRIC CAT-THEMED TWITTER THREADS

Follow me if you like art, archaeology, cultural heritage, architectural history, medievally stuff, critiques of medievally stuff, should we actually call Islamic stuff medieval, should we OH! CATS! MEDIEVAL AND OTHERWISE!, history in games and television, and sundry other passing fascinations and obsessions

Hello, people of #Mastodon!

Time for a quick #introduction: I am a literary historian, so I'm looking forward to meet fellow #litodons, #histodons, and everything in between.

I will mostly toot on:

- Late #medieval, #Renaissance and #earlymodern manuscripts from Italy and other areas of Europe and the Mediterranean. Exchanges between languages, cultures, and regions are my jam!

- Everything related to premodern texts and questions of identity-making and community building. That includes gender, race, class, and how they intersect in the history of Italian literature and culture.

- Books, manuscripts, and art, especially from premodern Italy. If something made a premodern reader happy (like the manuscript below), it makes me happy, too.

You can also find me on #twitter: @lauraingalli

Ok #histodons, where are my other #ArtHistodons? 🎨

I'm an art historian of the #Tudor period, interested in #VisualCulture, #MaterialCulture & the #HistoryOfIdeas as it manifests in art. I'm also interested in the connections between #Music, #VisualArt and #Literature.

Currently working on projects related to #Time, #Temporality and #Global connections!

Side interests in #Ghosts...
