The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University (SMFA) is furthering its leadership in the realm of humanities and social justice in the arts by bringing aboard a trailblazing group of faculty from diverse fields of artistry and scholarship.
“Our student body has increasingly become more diverse over the years — both demographically and in the subjects they want to explore with their artistic process and research. It is important that our faculty reflects this diversity,” said Nancy Bauer, dean of SMFA at Tufts. “We couldn’t be more excited for this new group of artists and educators to join our community. Not only are they top-tier established artists and academics who bring with them fresh perspectives and international experience, but their work and scholarship also explore topics that are of deep importance to our students and the larger world.”
