Biography: Dr. Hilary Haakenson earned her PhD in Renaissance Art History from Rutgers University. Her teaching interests include: social/political commitment in art, cultural myths and geographies, and the intersections between art and philosophy. Her current research examines early Italian cartography and the grand civic monuments commissioned by several maritime cities in Italy. She explores how these maps and monuments visualized the cultural encounters occurring in and around the Mediterranean Sea, and how, in turn, art shaped the contemporary European visions of the world. She has been the recipient of several awards including a Fulbright Fellowship.
