Marvin R. Milián, M.A., is an educator who seeks to innovate the classroom with the ambition to change the way art history is taught.
We are pleased to have Professor Grant Farred join èƽ for the fall lecture series “Singularly Opaque: The Philosophy of Martin Heidegger and Ornette Coleman.”
Congratulations to Dr. Toni-Lee Sangastiano on her new job! Dr. Sangastiano has been appointed as a Digital Media Specialist & Full-time Assistant Professor of the Practice at Georgetown University, Department of Art and Art History.
These deeply troubling and indeed shocking and frightening times leave many of us wondering: how did we go so wrong and what can we do to make these unjust, unkind, and horrible truths come right? To see fellow human beings murdered for the color of their skin, to see others trampled in the streets as they gather in outrage—we can only wish these images had no part in our daily life. But the hard truth they represent is common, all too common.
We have replaced Summer 2020 European and North African on-site residencies with online programming. The following roster of scholars and artist-philosophers will join èƽ students in virtual seminars and symposia.
èƽ is pleased to announce the publication of the 2020 Spring Newsletter. In this issue you will find a series of testimonies dedicated to the memory of Dr. David C. Driskell, along with recollections of our first winter residency in Mexico City, and achievements of our students and alumni.
