- This 140,000 word monograph is the first sustained cross-cultural study of the Caucasus on the eve of the Mongol invasions. It is based on substantial new research on the intersection of the Christian, Islamic and Mongol worlds. It analyses how women adapted their identities as they moved between cultures and religions, based both on written and material sources. It involved primary research of art works and buildings and their inscriptions in Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Syria and Egypt. The research began in 2009 and was supported by a Major Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust, 2012-14.
