Her current book project examines the process of production of the 19th-century French and British illustrated albums featuring Egyptian people and Islamic architecture. In particular, she investigates the marketing forces that the publishing industry imposed upon artists and publishers in regard to the preparation of their studies on Egypt. Paulina’s research was supported by the Grabar Post-Doctoral Fellowship, appeared in Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide, as well as in the exhibition catalogue The Fascination of Persia: Persian European Dialogue in Seventeenth-Century Art and Contemporary Art of Teheran, to which she contributed an essay that explores the early modern world of material exchanges and the circulation of art objects between Eastern Europe and Safavid Persia. Paulina holds a Ph.D. in Art History from Binghamton University and B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Paris-Sorbonne. Before coming to MICA, she was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University and a Visiting Assistant Professor at Sam Houston State University.
