Congratulations to Brigid Doherty, Associate Professor of German and Art and Archaeology
Brigid Doherty’s colleagues in the departments of Art and Archaeology and German call her a rigorous scholar, natural teacher and model mentor. A member of the faculty since 2003, her research focuses on the interdisciplinary study of 20th-century art and literature, with special emphasis on relationships among the visual arts, literature, and aesthetic and psychoanalytic theories of German modernism. She has developed, taught, and co-taught courses listed and cross-listed in multiple departments in the humanities, working with first-year students through graduate students. Most importantly, as an undergraduate student commented, “Professor Doherty consistently responds to her students with the type of thoughtfulness and seriousness that builds academic self-confidence and encourages continued dedication to learning.”
