Bio
Joe Lucchesi is Associate Professor of Art History and joined the faculty in 2000. He received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a dissertation that focused on visual strategies of emerging gay and lesbian subcultures of the early 20th century, especially lesbian expatriate communities in Paris and London. He curated Amazons in the Drawing Room: the Art of Romaine Brooks at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC and the University Museums at the University of California at Berkeley in 2000, as part of this ongoing research interest. His current research focuses on issues of history and memory in photography and on images of the American soldier in World War 2-era advertising campaigns. At St. Mary's, Dr. Lucchesi teaches European and American art from ancient to contemporary times. His other teaching interests include issues of gender and sexuality, alternative media, critical theory, and Museum Studies.
