Hi, I'm Emma, an advanced Ph.D. Candidate in Art History at Rutgers University—New Brunswick. As a specialist in US Latinx, diaspora, and gender studies, my dissertation research examines US Latinx visual production with interests in motherhood, migration, indigeneity, race, and decolonial feminism.
Prior to beginning my doctoral program, I formally studied printmaking and sculpture in the studio, which appears in my work as an emphasis on process-based art making practices. I have presented my scholarship across the country and internationally. In 2024-2025, I am a Terra Foundation for American Art / Big 10 Smithsonian Academic Alliance Fellow at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Additionally, I have curatorial experience in several museums including the Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (Bentonville, AR), and multiple smaller institutions and private collections. My writing has appeared in catalog publications, Rutgers Art Review, and in the NYU Latinx Project’s digital journal, Intervenxions. |
