Rachel Daphne Weiss is completing her masters at UCLA and will begin PhD coursework in the fall of 2016. Her research focuses on European art and architecture of the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. Through her participation in Early Modern Conversions, she hopes to examine the stylistic and conceptual transformations that have led scholars to characterize the period as either late medieval or early modern. She is also interested in exploring France’s role as a site of conversion between north and south.
