Bio/Research

My research focuses on nineteenth and twentieth-century art and visual culture in North America. Informed by Foucauldian discourse analysis, I understand visual representations as important sites where meaning and power effects are produced. In particular, I am interested in the way images have been used to support social ideals and political agendas, which means my research intersects with studies on ethnicity and gender issues. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses and supervise graduate students in the following fields: the history and theory of photography, Canadian and American art and architecture, contemporary art, and museum and exhibition history and theory.
