About

I am an assistant professor in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Denver. I received my PhD in art history from the Ohio State University and specialize in global contemporary art and museum studies. I previously worked at the Denver Art Museum and have independently curated several exhibitions, including Gonkar Gyatso: Intimacy and Immediacy at the Vicki Myhren Gallery and Leang Seckon: Prophecy at the McNichols Civic Center Building in Denver. I also curated Tenzing Rigdol’s first solo U.S. exhibition, My World Is in Your Blind Spot at the Emmanuel Art Gallery in Denver and the Tibet House U.S. in New York City. My research largely concerns issues of transnationalism and mobilities in contemporary art; my current book project is tentatively titled Contemporary Art of the Tibetan Diaspora. I have published essays in Art Journal, Journal of the British Association for South Asian Studies, the Journal of Aesthetics and Culture, and the Routledge Handbook of Asian Transnationalism.
