Thesis Title: Sanctus Serpens

Dr. Emma Anderson

About

Gabriel's current research focuses on how bronze age snake cults within the eastern Mediterranean have informed and influenced religious views on the snake as a locus of power in late Antique Europe and South Asia.

His thesis, under the supervision of Dr. Emma Anderson, examines the representation and devotional influence of the sacred snake as configured by Greco-Italic tradition in the material culture and popular devotion associated with the medieval saint Domenico di Foligno.

Gabriel additionally works on issues of indigenous representation, identity, and religious visual culture through the National Gallery of Canada where he is employed as an exhibition coordinator, and through the University of Ottawa InterCulture Center where he is a Research Associate.
