Hyunjin Cho

Hyunjin Cho is a Ph.D. candidate in the History of Art and Architecture at Boston University, where she specializes in visual cultures of the Islamic world.

In the 2020-2021 academic year, she will continue her archival research by visiting libraries and museums in Europe, the Caucasus, and India.
