Lauren Tate

Dr. Lauren Tate received her MA and PhD in Art History from Indiana University and a BA in Art History from the University of Cincinnati. She is deeply dedicated to teaching and creating an engaging, inclusive learning environment for students. Dr. Tate has taught a wide range of art history courses, including Art of the United States, Modern Art, Ancient to Medieval Art, Renaissance to Contemporary Art, Race and Identity in American Visual Culture, and Women, Art, and Society. Her pedagogy is rooted in guiding students to critically examine how art reflects and influences cultural and historical contexts and she has developed new courses that integrate diverse perspectives in art history. Beyond the classroom, she has led study abroad programs in Paris (“Art and Architecture History in the City of Light”) and in Florence and Rome (“Art and Art History in Florence and Rome”), giving students the chance to engage directly with art and architecture in their historical settings.
