Dr Harvey is currently working on publishing her doctoral work, a monographic study of the church of Santa Caterina at Galatina (Lecce, Italy). Her book will reconstruct how local Greek-rite and/or language communities understood and interpreted the frescoes of Santa Caterina, which were commissioned by the local signori, Catholics of Neapolitan and Provençal descent. By focusing on reception, the book will show how we can centre the experience of marginalised people in the history of art.
