About
Much of my graduate work to date explores the processes through which artifacts acquire and communicate meaning—and thereby participate in the social construction of race, gender, citizenship, and other fluid categories of identity. I am interested, too, in the cultural work and history of museums.
My desire to study visual and material culture has its roots in my experiences as sr. editor for "Antiques & Fine Art" magazine, communications officer for the Triton Museum of Art in California, and as a freelance critic for "Artweek," the West Coast’s contemporary art journal. Through this work I became interested in how objects function as cultural capital.
