At Penn, the Middle Ages embraces wide geographic and cultural terms. Penn's History of Art Department offers students the opportunity for a synchronic-based focus, studying in depth one period across multiple cultures, or a diachronic focus, studying one culture over several decades or centuries. Faculty work closely with students to hone their critical and observational skills for advanced training in the areas of study that interest them most, whether it is in the close analysis of objects, the methods of building construction or field archaeology, medieval and contemporary theories of art, or historiography. Medieval Europe is the specialty of Sarah M. Gurin, whose research centers on the Gothic period across Western Europe. Professor Gurin is particularly interested in materials and how they shaped, both physically and intellectually, works of art. Her specialty in medieval ivory carving forefronts intercultural connections both through courtly patrons emulating their neighbors around the Mediterranean, and also through the trade in elephant tusks across the medieval World System.
