F5 Kaja Roško (UNI SALERNO)

Kaja Roško is a doctoral candidate at the University of Salerno, supervised by Amalia Galdi and Maddalena Vaccaro. She holds an MA in Art History from the University of St Andrews (UK) and, in 2021, completed the Arts & Culture Research Master programme at the University of Groningen (NL). The results of her thesis were published in Museum International. During her studies, she undertook internships at several organisations, including the Dutch Museum Association in Amsterdam and the Biennale Matter of Art in Prague. From 2023 to 2025, she worked as a junior curator of the Collection of Old Art at the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava, where she contributed to several publications and exhibition projects. Her current research project investigates how physicians and other health professionals in 12th–14th century Europe – particularly in Southern Italy and France – constructed, portrayed, and narrated their identities. By examining both textual and visual sources, she highlights how the professional and gender identities of medieval medical practitioners were shaped, and how these representations continue to inform our understanding of medieval healing today.
