Advisor/Program help!

[moushkey]

Hi there!

My area of specialty is in Contemporary with a focus on Indigenous Studies. I'm looking for US programs (got Canada covered, I know everybody here already), ideally in art history but not a dealbreaker, that have a person studying North American Indigenous cultures.

Brief one-liner: I'm interested in time and temporality in contemporary indigenous art in North America. Looking at how indigenous artists play with and resist canonical notions of time (think Kent Monkman who ahistoricizes basically everything) and how indigenous notions of time and time travel can be helpful to the temporal discourse in art history.

I could technically make a case as well in an SOP for an advisor who's interested in time and temporality, since I bring six years of professional and research experience in indigenous arts studies with me.

So far, I've got these people + schools on the list:

• Jolene Rickard at Cornell
• Aaron Glass at BGC 
• Jessica Horton at Delaware
• Potentially Shawon Kinew at Harvard

Thanks in advance!
