collecting with United States cultural politics. Using
gender (and race and ethnicity) as a category for analysis,
Dr. Olin will explore the impact of the social upheavals
in the US during the 1950s through 70s, which led to
new paths being forged in American cultural history
by women visual arts professionals.
