Dr. Mariah Proctor-Tiffany specializes in the art of medieval women, digital humanities, Islamic art, and modern medievalism.
​
Her book Medieval Art in Motion: The Inventory and Gift Giving of Queen Clémence de Hongrie (Pennsylvania State Press) highlights the interconnectedness of the medieval world by tracing objects and materials from places as far away as Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Africa through medieval systems of gift exchange.

​She and Dr. Tracy Chapman Hamilton edited the volume Moving Women Moving Objects (400-1500) (Brill), and their digital art history project Mapping the Medieval Woman literally puts medieval women on the map by charting their foundations, residences, rituals, monastic houses, and labor in medieval Paris. Dr. Proctor-Tiffany also works on modern collecting of medieval and Islamic art, focusing on Doris Duke's Islamic art collection, and she is co-editing two issues on medievalism for the journal Different Visions.

Grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the International Center of Medieval Art, and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation have supported her research, and she has worked at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Met Cloisters, and Rhode Island School of Design. She earned her Ph.D. in the history of art and architecture at Brown University, and she enjoys teaching at CSU Long Beach because of the curiosity and varied perspectives of her students.
