Her innovative approach combines traditional art historical analysis with digital methodologies, as demonstrated in her recent work on manuscript data metrics and iconographic patterns.
Scholarly Trends
Over the past decade, her publications reveal a consistent engagement with medieval manuscript culture, evolving from studies of gendered portraiture (2014-2021) toward computational analysis of marginal iconography (2023). This trajectory highlights her commitment to expanding methodological frameworks in art historical research.

In her "art history laboratory" classroom, Dr. Doyle cultivates critical visual literacy through close engagement with primary sources. She emphasizes how skills developed in art history—observation, analysis, communication—prepare students for diverse professional paths, noting that "no matter what career you pursue... art history gives you skills to adapt, succeed, and thrive."
