Overview
Lindsay Maldari is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies at Duke University. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Art History and Political Science at Elon University (2019), before moving to Rome to earn her Master’s degree in Art History at John Cabot University (2022). From there, Lindsay worked for several years as a Program Coordinator in Rome where she coordinated academic curricula for American universities and delivered guest lectures to visiting students.
At the Master’s level, her research focused on popular commemoration of the Fosse Ardeatine massacre in Nazi-occupied Rome. At Duke, Lindsay plans to continue her work on grassroots commemoration of the Italian Resistance, now with an added attention to the popular postwar destruction of Fascist monuments and symbols. She will concurrently pursue a College Teaching certification in addition to continuing her involvement as a proofreader for the Italian Studies academic journal, Annali d’italianistica.
