Sylvia Karastathi studied English Literature and Visual Culture at the University of Cambridge, where she conducted research on the reception of feminist art criticism in the fiction of major late-20th century women writers. The nature of her work has always been interdisciplinary combining art history and visual culture theory with the study of the British novel. During her fellowship at IASH Bern she is pursuing a new strand of research in Post-millennial Fiction and Museum Studies, focusing on museological and exhibition practices in contemporary British writing.
