Adjunct Lecturer, Art History Department, Brooklyn College, City University of New York (2020 – 2023)

At Brooklyn College, I taught undergraduate survey courses in the Art History department. My semester-long courses spanned Pre-history to Contemporary Art, and emphasized critical discussions about the role of artworks within their specific socio-political contexts. My lessons were global in scope to enable students to acquire familiarity with a range of geographical regions, cultures, and movements. Additionally, I adopted a thematic and comparative approach and encouraged an examination of canonical works and underrepresented art historical narratives alongside one other.

Research Editor, MAP Academy, Museum of Art and Photography, Bangalore (2021 – 2023)

MAP Academy is an open access educational platform, supported by the Museum of Art and Photography, Bangalore. Its mission is to build equitable resources for the study of transregional connections across South Asian art, and to make art historical scholarship legible and accessible to diverse audiences. As a Research Editor at MAP, I wrote and edited online courses in collaboration with a team of educators, scholars, and designers. During my tenure, I primarily contributed to the development of two courses:

1. Textiles from the Indian Subcontinent
This course comprised a series of videos and illustrated texts that traced textile historical trajectories of textile production in South Asia and examined the place of textile traditions within visual culture more broadly through other art forms such as paintings, drawings, and photographs.

2. Modern and Contemporary Indian Art
Spanning the late nineteenth-century to the present, this course was designed to give learners insight into the complex past of the Indian subcontinent and introduce them to major art schools and movements across its history. Our approach aimed to look beyond cosmopolitan centers and shed light on artists who have otherwise been marginalized. Lesson topics ranged from the emergence of abstraction, the history of photography, to the rise of artist collectives, and beyond.
