Global Politics and Art, AB

Advisor:  Esther Whitfield

Capstone:  The Politics of Art Deco and its Conservation in Miami, Havana, and Buenos Aires

Capstone Advisor:  Esther Whitfield


Global Politics and Art examines international affairs through the social lens of artistic expression.


My capstone Investigates the original Art Deco movement as it traveled to Miami, Havana, and Buenos Aires. Focuses on the politics of conserving this form of architecture in all three cities, and what these conservation movements say about their broader political trends.


Acknowledgments:  A huge huge thank you to my concentration advisor, Esther Whitfield, for all of her advice and support as I struggled through the IC declaration process. Also, to Peggy and all of the IC peer advisors who were incredibly helpful as well. I also am so thankful for my first- and second-year advisor, Karen Bouchard, whose chats in the library basement I will miss dearly. Much love to my family and friends (181!) who have supported me throughout my journey to be a true architect of my own education.
