Department of Art Assistant Professor Bart Pushaw is a self-described “art historian of the colonial Americas, focusing on the circumpolar North and Central America between 1700 and 1950.” When he was a postdoctoral fellow in the international research group “The Art of Nordic Colonials: Writing Transcultural Art Histories” in Copenhagen, he emphasized “the global entanglements of material and visual culture of the indigenous Arctic, especially when it coincides with the Black Atlantic and Pacific.”
