Hello! Most of the time you can find me at the University of Richmond (Virginia), serving as Assistant Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History in the Department of Art and Art History. I received my PhD in art history from UCLA in 2018, and from 2018-2020 I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the National Gallery of Art’s Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts in Washington, DC.
I began studying art history at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where I spent several years between college and graduate school working in art criticism and gallery management. At UCLA I focused on modern and contemporary art with a specialization in African American art, and earned a graduate certificate in the digital humanities. My work intersects critical theory on race, media, and late twentieth and early twenty-first century art.
Recent publications can be found in Art Journal, Media-N (guest editor of “No Template”), the Rhizome anthology The Art Happens Here, VoCA Journal, The Black Scholar, and Shift. Book and exhibition reviews can be found in Art Journal, caa.reviews, Woman’s Art Journal, apricota, PORT, and Visual Codec, and you can usually find me presenting at CAA, ASAP, and related conferences on art and contemporary culture.
Currently I have a chapter in preparation for a forthcoming volume on African diasporic art, and am developing a book on how early internet art interrogated the notion of the internet as a digital public sphere.
