Shawn Michelle Smith Named a Clark Art Institute Research and Academic Program Fellow

Interim Dean of Faculty and Vice President of Academic Affairs Shawn Michelle Smith was selected as one of the Clark Art Institute’s Research and Academic Program (RAP) 2022–2023 class of fellows. This residential fellowship program welcomes top international scholars for periods ranging from two to nine months. Smith was selected as their Critical Race Theory and Visual Culture Fellow, which will allow her to work on the book project Environmental Double Consciousness, the aim of which is to "bring the lens of critical race studies more fully into view in discussions of the environment, and to demonstrate how art can shift one’s orientation to, and understanding of, a planet in crisis."
