After studying in London at University College London and the Warburg Institute, Dr Joan Barclay Lloyd taught European History for two years at King Alfred's College Winchester, before winning a Leverhulme Scholarship to study Art History in Rome. She stayed on in Rome for a further eight years, working as Research Assistant to Professor Richard Krautheimer, who was completing the fifth volume of the Corpus Basilicarum Romae (Vatican City 1977), Rome Profile of a City, 312-1308 (Princeton, 1980) and Three Christian Capitals (Berkeley, 1982). From 1981 she has taught Ancient Roman, Early Christian, Byzantine and medieval art and architecture at La Trobe University. She recently presented her first fully online subject, ARH2/3MEU Medieval Europe, 600-1200. She is committed to making Art History available to students at Bundoora and in the regions with the most cutting edge technology.
Dr Barclay Lloyd does research into the art and architecture of early Christian and medieval Rome. She is particularly interested in monastic buildings, including monasteries, friaries, canonries and nunneries. She has published books on the medieval church and canonry of San Clemente and the monastery, then nunnery, of S. Cosimato in Rome. She has also written about the meaning of images in the catacombs, as well as in early Christian and medieval mosaics, icons and frescoes. Apart from her studies on medieval Rome, she does research on nineteenth and twentieth-century ecclesiastical architecture and art in Victoria, in particular in Melbourne.
Dr Barclay Lloyd has a book in press on the medieval Cistercian abbey of SS. Vincenzo e Anastasio at Tre Fontane near Rome, and a chapter in a book giving a new interpretation of the apse mosaics of S. Clemente. She is currently working on studies of medieval Dominican and Franciscan houses in Rome. She is writing a book about the architecture and imagery in nineteenth-century churches in Victoria dedicated to the Virgin Mary. With a Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Research Enhancement Grant she has written a study of the buildings at San Pancrazio (now in press) and she is completing a study of the Carlo Rainaldi and the plague in seventeenth-century Rome.
