Dr. Meagan Khoury investigates art historical questions of gender in later medieval and early modern Europe. Her research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of labor collectives, authorial anonymity, the natural world, and busy bodies. Khoury’s work contributes to discourses of human-nonhuman interactions, ecologies of scale studies, and ecofeminist frameworks. Her intellectual commitments emphasize reparative models that inspire community-building and kinship in the classroom.

Currently, her research centers women’s communal living and silk, embroidery, and lace production in sixteenth-century Italy through an anarcha-ecofeminist lens. She has written previously on the journey narratives of Eleanor Rykener, a trans sex worker from fourteenth- century London; and on the connection between the metaphysical heart and breast for Saint Catherine of Siena. She co-edited the volume, “Medieval Mobilities: Gendered Bodies, Spaces, and Movements” (Palgrave McMillan, 2023). Khoury received her Ph.D. in Art History from Stanford University, her M.A. in Art History from the University of York (England), and her B.F.A. in Studio Art from The School of Visual Arts.
