Biography<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Janet Tulloch is an interdisciplinary scholar working in the areas of religion, women and material culture. Her Masters and PhD theses in Religious Studies examined representations of women in different historical periods. While Dr. Tulloch\u2019s Masters\u2019 thesis analyzed the representation of women in prints from the Northern Renaissance period, her PhD dissertation compared Roman pagan and early Christian frescoes from the fourth century CE.  The latter study focused on wall paintings in the Roman catacombs as visual evidence of women\u2019s changing roles in early Christian funerary rites. Since graduating in 2001, Dr. Tulloch has won two external scholarships for her research. In 2003-2004, she received a grant for individual research from the American Academy of Religion and in 2007-2008, she and collaborator Alice Christ, an art historian at the University of Kentucky, received a Shohet scholarship from the International Catacomb Society, Boston to host an international symposium on Ways of Seeing and Material Religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
