About

I am a garden variety art historian who is lucky enough to work with some amazing visual artists at the University of Alberta. I write about encounters with paintings and other artworks in Edmonton (my adopted hometown), China (my research area), and across the globe (in unexpected places). Recent posts speak to the human terror and obscenities that we continue to witness in Palestine.

Design and Science in Modern China came out in 2025. For a full list of publications, please visit my personal website: https://www.lisa-claypool.ca
