She received her Ph.D. in History of Art and Film and Media Studies from Yale University. Her current book project, *The World Builders*, looks at contemporary artists who adapt nineteenth- and twentieth-century tools of colonialism, like terraforming, hydroelectric dams, aerial photographs, and seed libraries, to build the world anew. An article drawn from this project is forthcoming in *Social Text*. Her research has been supported by the Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration and the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies. She holds a First Class Joint Honours BA in Art History and History and an MA in Art History from McGill University.
