Carolyn Malone is a Professor Emerita in the Department of Art History at the University of Southern California. She specializes in Medieval Art and Archaeology, focusing on French Romanesque and English Gothic architecture and sculpture. Malone has authored multiple significant publications including 'Facade Spectacle: Ritual Ideology Wells Cathedral' which examines the political and liturgical contexts of Gothic facades. Her work extends to the pre-Romanesque church of Saint-Bénigne in Dijon, culminating in her acclaimed books that delve into its ecclesiastical architecture during the early medieval period. She has recently been involved in a Digital Archives Project that documents 1970s excavations at the Saint-Bénigne site. Malone's interdisciplinary approach sheds light on the architectural accommodations made for pilgrims and their undulating journey through sites of historical and spiritual importance. Her extensive research and publications have contributed to several scholarly dialogues regarding Medieval liturgical practices.
