Kaitlin Pomerantz is an interdisciplinary artist, educator and writer. Pomerantz comes to visual studies from the intersecting fields of fine arts, art history, cultural and ecological studies. As an artist, Pomerantz works across mediums to invite consideration of place histories and futures, and material and land relations. Areas of research include: land art, industrial histories, discard studies, ecological grief + justice, liberatory pedagogy, image + ethics. In addition to Visual Studies, Pomerantz teaches MATTERS, a course looking at material life cycles. Pomerantz received a BA in Art History from the University of Chicago (working directly with foundational visual studies scholar WJT Mitchell), an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania (working closely with late Visual Studies professor Matt Friedman), and an Ed. M from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
