Her dissertation aimed to study the miracles dedicated to Santa Maria de Terena in the Cantigas de Santa Maria and to approach this theme in a musical, historical and political context.

Currently, Mariana is doing her PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge, working under the supervision of Professor Susan Rankin. She has a PhD studentship from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT). Her research concentrates on the development of an Iberian cult of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Late Middle Ages.
