MA Student Austin Bailey presented on Michael Rakowitz at the 2020 Nasher Prize Graduate Student Symposium
THIS YEAR THE MA PROGRAM IN ART HISTORY entered its third year. Students from the second cohort, Craig Cole, Austin Bailey, Megan Refice, and Mya Adams presented their research on Man Ray’s films (Cole), Michael Rakowitz (Bailey), and WPA-era murals in San Francisco (Refice) and Hawaii (Adams) at the annual MA Practicum Workshop in the fall.
In addition to pursuing research assistantships at the Dallas Museum of Art and the Crow Collection, MA students also participated in programs outside EODIAH. Austin Bailey presented on Michael Rakowitz at the 2020 Nasher Prize Graduate Student Symposium, while Mya Adams became the first student to come through via UTD’s fast-track program, which allows talented undergraduates to pursue a graduate-level study during their senior year at the university.
This year’s cohort, Sara Scherper and Meagan Severson, come to EODIAH from the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Crow Collection of Asian Art, respectively, and are currently completing coursework before embarking on thesis research.
We look forward to welcoming current and new Master’s students to campus this fall. There is still time to apply for the 2021-2022 academic year.
