I teach art history and cultural theory at Carleton University in the Department of Art History and Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture. Intrigued by the vibrant artistic experimentation that took place during the 1960s, I investigate its continuing impact on the present. My current research focuses on Neo-dada art in 1960s France and Europe, with particular focus on the pioneering work of artists such as Daniel Spoerri and François Dufrêne.
I have a BA and MA from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and a Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr College, U.S.A. Following my doctorate, I moved to Canada to work as a Killam Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia. My present research at Carleton University is funded by the university and a 2012-2017 Canadian Government Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Insight Grant.
My publications include the first English monograph on the 1960s artists’ group ‘Nouveau Réalisme’ (see selected bibliography), and articles and book chapters on French 1960s art, turn-of-the-century posters, 1970s feminist art, and postmodernism.
I teach courses on the history of 20th Century art and seminars on international contemporary art, feminism, and interdisciplinary theory to students at the undergraduate, M.A. and Ph.D. levels.
Positions held at international research institutions include The University of Melbourne Queen’s College: Sugden Fellow (2011), and the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art (France): Chercheur invité du département des études et de la recherche (June-July 2010).
And now for the personal: my passions include French cheese and Renaissance lute music!
