Supervisors

Description
My research concerns the entwinement of cinema and modern art history, and attends to the relationship between filmic technologies and art historical methodologies and epistemologies.
Biography
I was born in Chicago, have lived in London, St. Paul, Providence, Rome, New York, and Paris, and I now live in Toronto. I have gradually come to art history from a painting and visual arts practice, which I continue to maintain when I'm not reading and writing. Before beginning at U of T, I taught English and writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Toronto Mississauga.
