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). Working with the Center for Digital Scholarship at Brown University, we conducted two focus groups in May 2024 that will inform the redesign of the site. We also are developing an archival plan for the project.
