Women's Studies and Feminist Research and Art History Research I apply a feminist approach to the history of art by examining and comparing the various social, economic, and gender-political factors that have contributed to men and women's distinct biographies, artistic production, and images of women. |

Personal Note
Being an effective teacher is my priority. For me, this means that my students not only understand and value the course material, but that it has a positive impact on how they navigate their lives. I'd like to think that my teaching awards reflect my sincere and ongoing effort to achieve these goals!
