Art History Alumna, Suzanne McLeod, Ph.D. Presents Research at Bibliotheca Hertziana

Congratulations to Art History alumna, Suzanne McLeod, Ph.D., who was invited to present her work in progress at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome on June 18, 2024. Her talk will address what is believed to be the earliest depiction of Native Americans in European art. The images are found in a painting titled, “The Resurrection” (1494) by the Italian artist, Pinturicchio.

Suzanne, who is Anishinaabe-ikwe and a member of the Sagkeeng First Nation Manitoba, Canada, completed her dissertation in spring 2020 at UNM under the direction of Professor Ray Hernández-Durán. Her dissertation, which examines encounters between the Spanish and Northwest Coast Native communities in the 18th century, was awarded the prestigious Thomas J. Popejoy Dissertation Award in 2023. She has a forthcoming article derived from her dissertation research and is in the process of preparing her manuscript for publication. Suzanne is currently an Assistant Professor of Art History in the School of Art at the University of Manitoba in Canada.
