Claire Miller studies fifteenth-century German printed materials about apocalypticism, monsters, death, folk magic, and general spookiness. She is interested in the way gender and sexuality are used by artists to generate fear and anxiety and how the mobility of these materials affected their reception in different cultural contexts.  

Prior to joining the Tyler School of Art, Claire has held positions at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens in Washington D.C.  

Claire received her MA Honours in Art History and English (BA equivalent) at the University of St Andrews in 2019 and her MSc in Premodern Global Art History (MA equivalent) at the University of Edinburgh in 2022. Her master's dissertation examined Albrecht Dürer’s Apocalypse series (1497) through an economic lens, considering how Nuremberg’s unique intellectual middle class was his primary audience.
