Hello.

I am a multidisciplinary scholar completing my doctoral degree at Harvard University. My work broadly centers on categories of belonging and the exclusion of people and objects. My historical research explores the relationship between exile, nationalism(s), and identity formation of marginalized communities in the British Empire. My creative work explores the relationship between museums, reparations, and art. I believe in using art as a means of reckoning with the past, engaging in the present, and preparing for the future. I have been featured in The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Associated Press, and CBS News; among others.

I received an AB in Political Science with honors and a minor in Human Rights from the University of Chicago. I received an MA in History from Harvard University. I am a member of the British Art Network.

Dr. Georgiana Rose Simpson

 

In 2017, we commissioned the first public monument of an African-American woman in the City of Chicago. The bust of Dr. Georgiana Rose Simpson, the first African-American woman to earn a doctorate in the United States, is currently located in the Reynolds Club at the University of Chicago.
