Thrilled to have been awarded the Edwards College Apple Core Award last night. This also reflects on the value of Art History, and how this field can really impact them even if they took the course because “they had too.”

I am thrilled for my graduate student Clayton, who passed their M.A. Thesis Defense with flying colors today. It was also lovely to work with an incredible committee, including Dr. Howie and Dr. Richards-Greaves. Exciting thing to come as he starts his PhD at Duke in fall 🎉

Was lucky to hear the incredible artist Adrián Viajero Román give a talk on his exhibition “Archivos Vivos” at National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture. His work evokes emotional, historical, and cultural layers of Puerto Rican identity, migration, and resilience.

Myrtle Beach wildfires were not on my list of possibilities for the year - luckily my place is outside the immediate fires but hoping everyone is staying safe out there and the winds die down soon
