Dr Victoria Condie, Lecturer and Tutor in Medieval Literature, Art and Architecture
Dr Victoria Condie is a lecturer, tutor, and chair of examiners for art history at the Department for Continuing Education, Oxford University. Dr Condie teaches regularly on Middle English language and literature and well as medieval art and architecture and Old English. She has also recently taught on text and image in 15th century Books of Hours and runs regular Old Norse and Old English reading groups. Her research focuses on exploring the connections between text and image in medieval art as well as the history of the book with a developing focus on colonial book production in India.
I have recently taken a year out to complete a PGCE in English in order to expand my knowledge of current teaching practice in the subject.
I have maintained my work for the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education with reference to teaching and examining on the Diploma in the History of Art (Late Medieval/Early Renaissance) and have lead summer school programmes concentrating on medieval art and literature. As part of my work on the award-bearing courses I have lead introductory architectural tours of Oxford.
My doctoral thesis focussed on the representation of Christ’s Nativity in Anglo-Saxon Art and Literature. I am now also working on developing part of one of the chapters into a study of how aspects of Christ’s Nativity were represented in Anglo-Saxon art, especially those that depicted non-canonical events. I would be interested in contributing to a programme which included teaching on Romanesque and late medieval art and architecture.
I am also developing research interests into book history with particular reference to book publication in nineteenth century India.
