Area of Concentration:
My teaching interests include intermediate and advanced courses in Contemporary
Art & Theory (AAH045) and Modern European Art (AAH040) and Early American
Modernism (AAH042). I am offering a new course on Latin American & Caribbean
Art of the Modern Era (AAH025) and plan to develop a survey course covering
pre-Colombian art through the Spanish Colonial period as well as African &
Oceanic Art. I also teach several general education survey courses including
Art of the United States (AAH029) which covers the colonial period through
the 20th century as well as the second and third part of the Introduction
to Art History survey courses (AAH12,13).
Research Interests:
My research continues to focus on theoretical ideas that explore conceptions
of the self and identity in relation to recent contemporary art. In addition
to continuing my research and writing on the German artist, Jörg Immendorff,
the subject of my dissertation, I am embarking on a new book project on the
intersection between visual culture and critical race studies. My research
often takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines social and critical
theories in relation to art works that confront issues dealing with race,
gender, identity politics, and other themes related to cultural and introspective
self-scrutiny. I tend to gravitate towards the study of contemporary art that
incorporates the “body” in relation to these issues, both directly in the form of
figurative art, as well as indirectly through viscerally suggestive materials and
through a variety of media including installation art and the more traditional
mediums of painting and sculpture.
