Courtney joined the BSR as Programmes Manager in 2023 and works across the School’s Architecture, Humanities, and Fine Arts programmes. Her role includes coordinating award competitions and residencies, supporting award-holders during their time in Rome, facilitating the work of the BSR Faculties, and managing the School’s publications programme. She works closely with applicants, funding bodies, partner institutions, and the wider BSR community to support the School’s interdisciplinary and international mission.
Courtney especially enjoys helping architects, artists, and scholars make the most of the opportunities the BSR offers, fostering connections across disciplines, and contributing to the intellectual and creative life of the residential community in Rome.
Her academic background is in musicology and literary-cultural history, with research interests focused on early modern Italy, women writers and singers, and histories of performance and patronage. Before joining the BSR, she was Associate Professor of Italian at Dartmouth College (USA) and also worked extensively in academic editing, translation, and research support.
