About the author
I am an author and teacher who divides my time between Berkeley, California, and New York City. My interdisciplinary research and pedagogical interests cut across numerous fields including feminist studies, media and film studies, cultural studies, visual culture and the history of art. I am the author of Gender on Ice: American Ideologies of Polar Expeditions (University of Minnesota Press, 1993), and an edited anthology entitled With Other Eyes: Looking at Race and Gender in Visual Culture (University of Minnesota Press, 1999). My third book is titled, Jewish Identities in U.S. Feminist Art: Ghosts of Ethnicity (Routledge, London, 2006). My articles have appeared in The Scholar and the Feminist, n.paradoxa: journal of international feminist art, Media N-Journal, NKA: Journal of Contemporary African Art, and Configurations; exhibition catalogues on Isaac Julien and Eleanor Antin, and anthologies including The Visual Culture Reader, The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader, Performing the Body/Performing the Text, Jewish Identity and Art History, Jews and Sex, Writing Science, and Everyday eBay, Collecting and Desiring. I have both an M.F.A. from the Visual Studies Workshop and Rochester Institute of Technology (1985), and a Ph. D. from the History of Consciousness Board at the University of California, Santa Cruz (1990). For more detailed information on my work, visit my website at: www.lisabloom.net or www.lisaebloom.com.
