Jacqueline Jung, Professor in the Department of History of Art at Yale University, teaches on medieval European art and architecture, with a focus on Gothic cathedrals and allied arts.

Her new book, Eloquent Bodies: Movement, Expression, and the Human Figure in Gothic Sculpture, was published by Yale University Press in 2020, and received the Gustav Ranis International Book Prize from Yale University. Her book The Gothic Screen received the PROSE Award for Art History and Criticism, was co-winner of the John Nicholas Brown Prize from the Medieval Academy of America, and was a finalist for the Charles Rufus Morey Prize of the College Art Association. She has been a Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and at the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale, and in 2016 received the annual prize of the Aby Warburg Foundation in Hamburg for her contributions to Art History.
