Andrea Pappas
About
Pappas' research and writing focuses on the relationship between the conditions of reception for art and its production. She has looked at this specifically in the area of 20th C. American Jewish identity and is now working on a project about the art market and modernism in mid-20th C American culture. She has a second line of research into the pedagogy of art history, specifically the impact and promise of digital technologies as they transform the field, and the teaching of writing in the discipline.
Roles at SCU
I teach a wide range of courses, addressing a large number of time periods, cultures, and issues. For many years I taught the Western Art survey from the Renaissance to the present. Starting in 2009, this will be replaced by one or more Cultures & Ideas seminars centered on the intersections of art, empire, trade, and personal identity. I also teach two courses in American art--18th & 19th C American visual culture, and 20th C American visual culture. For many years I taught a class on topics in Post-WW II art, and I currently teach History of Photography, Women and the Visual Arts (cross-listed with Women's and Gender Studies), and our art history proseminar in History, Theory, and Methods of the Discipline--this course is also an advanced writing class. I have also taught for the Honors program. Outside the classroom, I participate in the Ignatian Faculty Forum, serve on the Faculty Core Implementation Committee for Cultures & Ideas 3, and have served on the FCI for Cultures & Ideas 1 and 2. I advise many students, both majors and undeclared, serve as an advisor for the student-run Explore With Me Docent program at our accredited campus museum, the de Saisset Museum. I also enjoy attending our annual College Night at the museum!
