Tanya Sheehan, the William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Art, has been appointed a Beinecke Senior Visiting Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery Art. CASVA fellowships are highly selective, and the program is among the most sought-after research opportunities for art historians in the U.S. At CASVA Sheehan is working on her third book, a study of African-American artists’ engagement with the subjects of medicine and public health between the 1930s and 1950s. Sheehan is also the principal investigator for Colby’s initiative Critical Medical Humanities: Perspectives on the Intersection of Race and Medicine.
