Biography

Dr. Laurence Garneau (she/her) specializes in Early Renaissance Padua, the Veneto region’s political context and image agencies. Her research on astrological frescos painted in Italian public buildings from the 14^th to 16^th centuries adopts an anthropological, historiographical, feminist and materialist approach. It has been presented in Canada and Europe and supported by Fonds de Recherche du Québec and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Over the last few years, she has taught in the Art History Department of the Université du Québec à Montréal. She also took part in several educational projects in university and museum institutions (Galerie de l’UQAM, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Salle Alfred-Pellan), which has led to a teaching approach that promotes close contact with artistic objects.
