Academic Background

1. Interdisciplinary Studies: Philosophy, Art, and Cognition

Primary Specialization: Aesthetic Cognitivism in the Arts, Theology, Biblical Studies, and Manuscript Cultures — also known as Symbolic and Cognitive Aesthetics with Political-Religious Hermeneutics.

Short description (for non-specialist readers):

A domain concerned with the ways in which artworks, symbols, sacred texts, visual cultures, and manuscript traditions shape perception, emotion, memory, identity, and political-religious worldviews. The field integrates aesthetics and philosophy of art, symbolic interpretation and hermeneutics, cognitive approaches to imagery and ritual, cultural theory, theological and psychological dimensions of artistic expression, and intellectual history. Its methodology combines philosophical analysis with cognitive theory and cultural hermeneutics, applied to both theological and artistic corpora.

2. Western Fine Art Conservation & Curation

Specialization: Cultural Heritage Management

Short description (for non-specialist readers):

A formation focused on Western art history, conservation practices, exhibition design, and the stewardship of cultural heritage. It bridges traditional conservation with digital curation, archival studies, and curatorial strategy. This training complements the primary specialization by grounding symbolic and cognitive aesthetics in the materiality of artworks and manuscripts, elucidating how visual objects embody, transmit, and transform cultural, theological, and political meaning across historical context.

3. Political Science & International Relations

Specialization: National Security, STS Communication & Digital Diplomacy

Short description (for non-specialist readers):

A field encompassing strategic defense, cyberwarfare, information operations, digital diplomacy, European security, and science/technology communication within policy environments. It enhances the primary specialization by providing analytical instruments for understanding how symbols, narratives, sacred or ideological imagery, and cultural memory operate in political systems, as well as how digital communication molds public perception, identity formation, and geopolitical behavior. In essence, it links aesthetic-symbolic interpretation to contemporary political dynamics, security discourses, and strategic communication ecologies.
