DrCAROLINE PAGANUSSI

Teaching is central to my academic practice. Across Art History and Italian Studies, I design learning experiences that connect texts and images and build students’ confidence as analytical readers, visual thinkers, and writers. My classes use collaborative and constructivist strategies—such as guided visual analysis, primary-source “scavenger hunts” in digitised manuscripts, and structured discussion—to help students translate complex ideas into persuasive arguments.
