University of Arkansas - Fort Smith
Associate Professor of Art History and Humanities
Since arriving in the Fall of 2012, I have established a solid art history program at UAFS. As of Fall 2015, a Minor in Art History has been offered to students. In addition to reorganizing the four existing Art History classes at UAFS, including Art History Survey I (Pre-history through Medieval), Art History Survey II (Early Modern through 20th Century); Modern Art; and American Art, I have broadened our Art History offerings with Castles and Cathedrals of the Middle Ages; Art outside the Western Tradition; the Art of Early Modern Italy, and Art Since 1945. The course, "Art in Paris" (first taught in Spring 2014), which combines embedded travel and on-site teaching in Paris with classroom seminar-style teaching, has also become part of the Art History curriculum. It is the first class at UAFS to include embedded travel in a semester-long offering.
