Sarah Greenwell-Scott

Sarah Greenwell-Scott is pursuing a PhD in Art History with a major emphasis in Contemporary Art and Theory, focusing on Contemporary Indigenous Art and minoring in American Indian Studies. An interdisciplinary scholar, Greenwell-Scott's research interests include Indigenous artists, gender and feminist theory, postcolonialism, and museum studies.

Primarily, Greenwell-Scott's research focuses on Contemporary Indigenous artists who confront and deconstruct visual representations of indigeneity pervasive within settler culture, such as those perpetuated through nineteenth- and twentieth-century ethnography. During the summer of 2024, Sarah performed dissertation research in Washington, D.C. at the National Anthropological Archives, funded by the Medici Circle and the College of Fine Arts.

Greenwell-Scott has presented her work at conferences and symposia nationally and has been published in the American Indian Culture and Research Journal. The winner of the Graduate Teaching Award for the School of Art (2024), Sarah has taught a variety of courses, including Modern and Contemporary Art, the Art History Survey (Western and Global), and Art of Asia.
