Emily Eliza Scott is an Assistant Professor of History of Art and Architecture and Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon within the College of Arts and Sciences. She joined the University of Oregon in 2018 after serving as a Visiting Professor at VU University Amsterdam and completing a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture at ETH Zurich.
Her research focuses on art and design practices that engage with pressing ecological and political issues, with particular interest in art and environmental justice, art and activism, critical approaches to the built environment, visual cultures of nature, and land-based art from the 1960s to the present. Her scholarly work contributes to the emerging interdisciplinary field of environmental arts and humanities. Scott's publications span art history journals, edited volumes, and collaborative projects addressing climate change, extractivism, and multispecies justice.
Scott has received significant recognition and support for her work through grants and awards from Creative Capital, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, College Art Association, Graham Foundation, American Council of Learned Societies, Luce Foundation, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Annenberg Foundation, Switzer Foundation, Nevada Museum of Art, UO Center for Environmental Futures, and the Oregon Humanities Center.
She is actively involved in two long-term collaborative art-research projects: World of Matter (2011-), an international platform on global resource ecologies, and the Los Angeles Urban Rangers (2004-), a group that develops interpretive tools for exploring urban habitats. Prior to her academic career, Scott spent nearly a decade as a National Park Service ranger in Utah and Alaska, which informs her environmental perspective.
