The Dodd Welcomes New Cohort of Graduate Students

This fall, the Dodd welcomes 15 new graduate students, pursuing degrees in studio art, art history, and art education. They hail from across the country and from as far as Austria and reflect a wide range of perspectives and interests. Among their ranks is a printmaker and “provincial anthropologist” from Pittsburgh; an art historian from California researching twentieth-century Danish conceptual art; a painter and sculptor from Atlanta interested in disability and developmental psychology; a dedicated road-tripper from LA, who runs a mobile tattoo gallery and lemonade stand that sells one-of-a-kind t-shirts; and a designer and art educator from Vienna specializing in creative dissent and social practice. As Dr. Isabelle Loring Wallace, Associate Director of Research and Graduate Studies observed: “We are extremely excited about this year’s cohort, which is among the most talented and diverse in recent memory.”
