Bio
I am Associate Professor Emerita in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University of Maryland. I have a B.A. from Oberlin College, and a M.A. from the University of Maryland. In 2000, I earned my Ph.D. in art history and archaeology from the University of Maryland.
My current scholarship 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. Working with the Center for Digital Scholarship at Brown University, we conducted two focus groups in May 2024 that informed the redesign of the site. In April 2025, we reconvened the focus groups for a discussion of the content and usability of the monument archive.
