Alice Maggie Hazard

Alice Maggie Hazard serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her teaching responsibilities for 2025 include:

• World Cultures and Civilizations: Prehistory to the Nineteenth Century (ARTH 1001)
• Survey of Modern to Contemporary Art and Architecture (ARTH 1002)
• Photography: History, Theory, and Practice (ARTH 2620)
• 20th Century Photography (ARTH 2622)
• The Street: Site and Subject in Photography (ARTH 4622)

Her research examines the cultural impact of Civil War photography—particularly images of fallen soldiers from battles like Antietam and Gettysburg—and how these photographs transformed 19th-century American understandings of death from private familial experiences to public phenomena. She extends this analysis to contemporary contexts, exploring connections between historical war imagery and modern global photographic practices in processing trauma.
