Dr Jane-Héloïse Nancarrow is a Digital Arts Project Officer with CHE and an Honorary CHE Associate Investigator (AI 2016) at The University of Western Australia (UWA), and a Research Associate of the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of York. Jane-Héloïse graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (History and Politics) at UWA in 2007 and undertook an MA in Medieval Studies in 2008. She was awarded her PhD in Medieval Studies from the University of York in 2014. Jane-Héloïse's doctoral research conducted an interdisciplinary survey of standing remains of medieval buildings and twelfth-century Latin literature to understand the concept of material romanitas in post-Conquest England. Her forthcoming monograph, will be published by York Medieval Press in 2018.
In 2015, Jane-Héloïse undertook research examining Norman architectural traditions in the Apulian buildings of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. However her main research interests encompass three-dimensional digital modelling and visualisation from photogrammetry in cultural heritage. Jane-Héloïse has participated in a number of public outreach activities, including an internship with the Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past, consulting for the Churches Conservation Trust on the St Lawrence’s Heritage Conservation Project, presenting her doctoral research on BBC radio, and most recently, co-founding the AVRL Virtual Reality Lab at the University of Western Australia.
Jane-Héloïse’s CHE funded AI project, 'Emotions 3D:Accessing a History of Emotions through 3D Digital Museum Artefacts', fits in the ‘Shaping the Modern’ Program of the Centre. Within emotions history, Jane-Héloïse’s main research interests focus on how museums can use emerging 3D technologies to better articulate the socio-historical lives of objects.
