Louise Siddons is Professor of Visual Politics and Head of the Department of Art & Media Technology at the Winchester School of Art. Her research focuses on intersectional visual resistance to structures of marginalisation in modernity, and has covered topics from the eighteenth century to the present. Immediately prior to joining the University of Southampton, she was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Sussex Humanities Lab (UK) and Professor of Art History at Oklahoma State University (USA), as well as founding co-director and curator of the Oklahoma State University Museum of Art, for which she wrote the first collection catalogue, Sharing a Journey (Oklahoma State University, 2014). Her first monograph, Centering Modernism (2018, University of Oklahoma Press), addressed the coastalisation of the postwar American art world. She is currently completing a monograph about photographer Laura Gilpin that examines the intersection of lesbian and Navajo sovereignty politics at mid-century (forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press, 2024). Her research has been supported by grants from the British Library, the Terra Foundation for American Art, the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, the US-UK Fulbright Commission, and others.
