Julie Johnson, a UTSA associate professor of art history, has been awarded a prestigious senior fellowship at the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art. The center, located within the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), is renowned for its contributions to the study of modern art and offers an exceptional environment for scholars dedicated to advancing the field.
Johnson says her experience at the Lauder Research Center will support her teaching at UTSA.
“This is an exciting opportunity for my own research and writing that will also benefit our students when I return to campus,” she said, “I can also welcome visitors at the Met while I am in residence. I would love to see some familiar faces from my art history classes in the galleries.”
Each year, the center hosts five fellows who produce major research projects such as books or dissertations.
