John Siewert

John Siewert is an Associate Professor of Art and Art History at The College of Wooster since 2000. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (1994), with prior degrees from the same institution and the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on late 19th-century American artist James McNeill Whistler, particularly the role of Whistler’s Nocturnes in shaping "cosmopolitan modernism," and intersections of postwar urbanism, gender, and domesticity in Anglo-American Pop Art (1950s–60s).

Education:

• B.A., University of Minnesota, 1983
• M.A., University of Michigan, 1985
• Ph.D., University of Michigan, 1994

Research interests emphasize transnational artistic exchange, with current projects exploring Whistler’s influence and postwar cultural dynamics. No specific awards or grants are listed, though his work contributes to broader art historical discourse.
