Bio:

Ruth Anne Phillips completed her Ph.D. in 2007 from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her research interests are focused primarily in the Pre-Columbian Andes and, especially, with the Inka. She is currently working on a research project that examines particular architectural features at a number of Sacred Valley Inka sites in Peru in and around Machu Picchu. Other projects relate to her dissertation, "'Pre-Columbian Revival': Defining and Exploring a U.S. Architectural Style, 1910-1940," which looks at the use of Pre-Columbian elements in U.S. architecture. Since earning her Ph.D. she has been Visiting Assistant Professor at York College of the City University of New York and at the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque. She is pleased to be at St. Mary's for this academic year.
