Bio
I am a Visiting Associate Professor in the Department of Africana Studies at Brown University and Associate Professor Emerita in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland. I hold a B.A. in art history from Oberlin College (1987); M.A. in art history from the University of Maryland (1993); and Ph.D. in art history from the University of Maryland (2000).
My current scholarship and teaching focuses on monuments, history and remembrance, and public space. I am entering the third iteration of the digital repository, Contemporary Monuments to the Slave Past (CMSP). It has taken four years to get to this rethink. Working with the Center for Digital Scholarship at Brown University, the next big steps include group interviews for feedback on the site, a redesign, and an archival plan.
