Please join us Wednesday, April 1st, as GAHA welcomes Dr. Alessandra Amin, this semester's Distinguished Speaker, who will deliver a talk titled "Virgin Mothers, Barbarian Children: Gendered Landscapes in Modern Palestinian Art."
Alessandra Amin is a historian of modern and contemporary Arab art, focusing primarily on twentieth-century Palestinian visual cultures. She earned her PhD in art history from UCLA in 2022 and has since held postdoctoral appointments at Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins University. Presently, she is a postdoctoral fellow with the Global South Humanities Initiative at JHU.
The Pressly Forum offers members of Department faculty and selected speakers to give a talk to members of the Department (faculty, staff, students) in an effort to create bonds of intellectual and collegial community. The forum is the brainchild of Professor Emeritus William L. Pressly, after whom the forum now is named. A light lunch will be served at 11:30.
