Congratulations to Rebekkah Hart, a newly accepted PhD student in medieval art joining us this fall, for winning the second-place paper prize at this year’s Vagantes Conference! Her paper, entitled “Holy Healing: English Alabaster St. John’s Heads (c. 1430-1550) and Remedial Ingestion,” explores the intersection of devotional practices and medicinal scraping of alabaster in medieval and early modern England.
