Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am interested in American art and material culture, material culture theory and method, and the ways one might write an artifact history. I have written about many kinds of artifacts, from a sword used in the War of 1812 to decorative whale teeth, paintings, and glass bowls. I love looking at art with friends and students.

Are museums stuffy and boring or are they filled with lively artworks that teach us about history and being alive? We vote the latter! This class, co-taught by two art historians, will engage art and artifacts at the Cantor Museum and ask questions such as: Why is art important? What can art tell us about the past, the present and ourselves? This class will offer an introduction to the methods of art history and model how to use these skills to more creatively and critically engage our visual world.
