She has a strong commitment to the utility of interdisciplinary studies both in research and teaching, undergraduate and graduate.  She has advised three Ph.D. dissertations to completion and currently has three Ph.D. students.

A specialist in medieval Roman painting, Prof. Noreen has recent publications on the eleventh-century frescoes in the church of Sant’Urbano alla Caffarella (Rome) as well as the revival of Early Christian and medieval art in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.  She is currently working on the afterlife of medieval icons during the Counter-Reformation.  In addition to taking an interdisciplinary approach in both her research and teaching, Dr. Noreen has also been involved in the application of new technologies in the classroom; she is now developing an interactive website for the introductory course to art history.
