Teaching
I teach contemporary art and museum studies from a global perspective. Students can expect to study art being made in South Africa alongside art movements centered in the United States, museums in India along with ones in Europe. Together with essays and research papers, I also assign projects that ask students to learn by doing. These might include proposing a public artwork for Ithaca, re-performing a work of performance art, or designing an engagement activity for Ithaca College’s Handwerker Gallery.
