Brigid Doherty is Associate Professor jointly appointed in German and Art & Archaeology at Princeton University. She directs the Program in European Cultural Studies and serves on executive committees for Media + Modernity and international teaching initiatives.

Her research investigates relationships between aesthetic objects and psychological phenomena, with projects on Rainer Maria Rilke's writings, Rosemarie Trockel's artworks, and theories of projective identification. Current work includes a monograph on Trockel's Rorschach Pictures and a book project 'Homesickness for Things' exploring fantasies of return in German modernism.
Professor Doherty has held fellowships at Radcliffe Institute, Courtauld Institute, and Zentrum für Literaturforschung. She participated in Manifesta 7 with her exhibition 'Learning Things' and received Princeton's President's Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2019.
