I am an Art History MA student as well as a Ph.D. student in the History Deparatment at Indiana University. I'm interested in the relationship bewteen technology, art, and the construction of capitalist aesthetics since 2008. My research examines how technology mediates and reshapes the financial value of art objects, and consequently, reconfigures aesthetic expressions of class and gender. Before starting at IU, I was an M.A. student studying History and Material Culture at Mississippi State University where I wrote about the racial dynamics of erasure and consumption in the Beale Street redevelopment project in Memphis during the 1980s. I became fascinated with architecture, art, and cultural history during my undergraduate career at Colorado State University, where I majored in History and Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts. I'm originally rom Fort Collins Colorado, and I enjoy making small websites and fretting over my plants.
