Research Interests
Nayoung’s research focuses on printed images of family and community in late medieval and early modern Europe. Her dissertation, “Lures of Order: Genealogical Images of Northern Europe, 1450-1650,” discusses early modern genealogy as an intersection of politics, history, natural sciences, religion, and art. She argues that this process was propelled by the spread of printing technology. Her research has been presented at conferences including the Renaissance Society of America and the Sixteenth Century Society Conference.
