Department of Christian History, Art and Archaeology, The University of Vienna

I studied ancient history at the University of Bucharest and at the Freie Universität Berlin. I have PhDs in ancient history (2011) and art history (2014), I was postdoctoral fellow at the Bibliotheca Hertziana–Max Planck Institut für Kunstgeschichte Rom (2015-2017), and Summer fellow at Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection (2019). Since 2015 I am lecturer at the Accademia di architettura di Mendrisio, Università della Svizzera italiana.

My work explores the ways in which ancient and late antique societies staged encounters with the divine, with particular focus on living bodies as theophanic media.

Department of Christian History, Art and Archaeology, The University of Vienna

Uta Heil specialises in Patristic text editing, translation, and interpretation. In the past years, she drew attention to various cultural mechanisms (i.e. rituals, practices, theological concepts) introduced by the Church Fathers in their effort to produce a new, Christian worldview. To this end, she set up international research teams with support from the German DFG, the Austrian FWF, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, and the Volkswagen Foundation.
