The focus of my scholarship and curatorial activities has been on Post-1945 art. I have taught a range of classes including Roots in Modernism: 19th Century Art, Art From 1965-Present, The History of Women In Art, 19th-20th Century Painting and Sculpture, and the History of Photography from 1839 to the present, High & Low Culture, Critical Theory and Visual Culture. In addition, I have made it a point to travel extensively throughout Europe and Eastern Europe in order to acquaint myself with Europe's great museums and collections and to experience other people and cultures. During the past several years I have spent time in Central Europe; the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. I have given two papers in Budapest -- one at Critics and Scholars Symposium, sponsored by the Association International Critics of Art and one at the Ludwig Museum. In the spring of 2001 on an IREX Travel Research Grant, I spent time in the Czech Republic and Hungary. In Prague and Budapest I interviewed colleagues as well as gave talks at the universities and art academies.
