Recent movements by Black and Indigenous activists have highlighted the link between many modern monuments, colonialism, and white supremacy. Two upcoming conversations at Brown will feature conversations about this topic.
How do we talk about and understand monuments, art, and public sculpture as cultural and historic objects that speak to us from the past? Two new faculty members in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture research vastly different geographic areas and time periods, but their research intersects as they explore something we are all talking about today.
As director, Professor Neumann looks forward to broadening the relationships of the Public Humanities with many departments, in particular, with the History of Art and Architecture department.
The Wriston Fellowship is awarded to regular untenured members of the faculty who have achieved a record of excellence in teaching and scholarship during their first years at Brown.
We caught up with Amanda in early May after moving her family from Grand Rapids to southern Maine where she was in quarantine with her husband (Brown class of ’05) and two children. (five year old daughter, and toddler).
We are proud to celebrate the recent outstanding achievements of our graduate students. While every year our community of art and architectural historians is honored with a variety of prizes, this year’s crop of awards is exceptional.
