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.Publications

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!
