“When you're teaching the Middle Ages you have to account for religion in order to understand what’s happening; the majority of the artwork that's produced in the Middle Ages is religious in nature.” Jennifer Awes-Freeman, visiting assistant professor of medieval studies, shares about her approach to teaching and experience at the U.

Otten brings her experience as a curatorial fellow at the Weisman Art Museum, where she curated the exhibition “Paper Mountains: Marsden Hartley’s Landscapes,” slated to open in 2020. Previously, Otten had served as a part-time research assistant in the museum’s department of prints and drawings.
