The Department of Art history is proud to announce that Jennifer Jane Marshall, Assistant Professor of North American Art, has been named a McKnight Land-Grant Professor for the academic years 2010-2012.
Of the ten recipients named this year, Professor Marshall is one of only two professors from the College of Liberal Arts to receive this prestigious award.
The McKnight Land-Grant Professorship is a two-year appointment that includes a generous research grant in each of the two years, and a year's leave from teaching in 2011-2012.
The award will support Professor Marshall's second book project, tentatively titled "Subtraction: American Sculpture in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," a study of sculptural practice in the United States from WWI to the Cold War.
