Professor Artiles’ scholarship examines paradoxes of educational equity and addresses their consequences. For instance, he studies how disability diagnoses can unwittingly stratify educational opportunities for racial or linguistic minoritized groups and advances models and tools to rectify such inequities. Current work examines the role of cultural and spatial factors in equity reforms for students of color with/without disabilities.

Professor Derbew was a Fellow in Harvard's Society of Fellows and earned her Ph.D. in Classics at Yale University. Her dissertation, entitled “The Metatheater of Blackness: Looking at and through Black Skin Color in Ancient Greek Literature and Art,” presents an interconnected argument about the capacity for critical and self-reflexive theorizations of race and cultural identity in the “Greek” Mediterranean from the fifth century BCE to the third century CE.

MURALS, MONUMENTS & MOVEMENTS
Presented by the Centering Race Consortium
|
|
September 25 | 12p PDT
In the summer of 2020, challenges to race, memorialization, and icons of power predominated ongoing social, cultural, and political action and art.
Presenters Crystal Feimster (Yale), Daniel Magaziner (Yale), Renee After (Brown), and Juliet Hooker (Brown) will examine how social movements have redefined public space, articulated social justice through art, and defied long-standing national icons and monuments.
What is at stake in these movements and gestures and how do art and politics work together to reimagine social space, belonging, and symbols of power?

Laura Aguilar: Transformative Visual Acts
In Chicanx and Latinx Portraiture
|
|
BY MARCO A. FLORES (CSRE Grad Fellow, Art & Art History)
In an artist statement from 1988, Chicana photographer Laura Aguilar asserts, “I am a mostly self-taught photographer. My photography has always provided me with an opportunity to open myself up and see the world around me. And most of all, photography makes me look within.” For Aguilar, despite the lack of formal training,¹ photography was instrumental in visualizing identity. But most importantly, it was a way of turning inward and responding to personal feelings, including living with auditory dyslexia and depression.² Best known for her nude self-portraits in desert landscapes, she was active in documenting queer Chicanx and Latinx history in Los Angeles. To date, her most notable works discussed include In Sandy’s Room (1989) and Three Eagles Flying (1990) (acquired by the Getty Museum in 2019). Today, as Aguilar continues to gain recognition, her self-portraits are redefining photography. Read the full story on CCSRE's blog here.

"...I am astounded by how Aguilar can capture such a sense of playfulness in a single shot. This jubilance, this sense of fullness, is to be perceived in much of her photography work...Aguilar’s photographs strive for an extreme degree of ‘nakedness’ that is intimate while simultaneously dignifying."
-Marco A. Flores, CSRE Grad Fellow
