About the Author
Lia Markey is a distinguished scholar and art historian whose groundbreaking research illuminates the intersections of visual culture, race, and power in premodern societies. With a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, she has held prestigious fellowships at institutions like the Villa I Tatti and the Newberry Library, where her work challenges conventional narratives of the early modern world. Markey's interdisciplinary approach draws on art, literature, and history to reveal how visual representations shaped racial ideologies long before the modern era. Her scholarship not only redefines our understanding of the past but also informs contemporary discussions on identity and representation. Passionate about making academic insights accessible, she frequently lectures and contributes to public exhibitions on global art history.
