To date, my areas of research have paralleled the topics I teach. These include surveys of world art; Western art; Western literature; late 19th and early 20th century Parisian avant-garde art and literature; convergences and disparities in the artistic traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; issues of identity, power, race, and market economics in the humanities and cultural institutions, particularly museums. Having recently completed a master's degree in Museum and Field Studies at CU, my research is increasingly moving into art museum history, education, management, and theory. Also concurrently interested in art tourism and travel and the sustainability thereof in major, especially European, cities.
