معرفی
Daniel J. Sherman is the Lineberger Distinguished Professor of Art and History at the University of North Carolina, with a joint appointment in the Department of Art History. His roles encompass teaching and research at the intersection of art, history, and cultural politics. He is reachable at dsherman@email.unc.edu and holds office hours in the Hanes Art Center.
Sherman earned an AB from Harvard University in 1980 and a PhD from Yale University in 1985. His academic journey reflects deep engagement with interdisciplinary scholarship in cultural and historical studies.
His research interests focus on museums, monuments, and commemorative practices in modern Europe and the U.S., particularly France’s modernist visual arts, archaeology’s role in empire, and media studies. Current work examines France’s colonial legacy through primitivism and post-1945 cultural shifts.
He teaches courses like HIST 468: Art, Politics, and Society in France (1850-1914) and HIST 514: Monuments and Memory, reflecting his expertise in cultural history and the societal dimensions of artistic expression.
Sherman is not accepting graduate applicants for the 2024-2025 cycle. No grants are explicitly detailed, though his research indicates sustained institutional support for projects on memory and colonialism.
