Elizabeth S. Hawley

Elizabeth “Betsy” S. Hawley, Ph.D. is an art historian, writer, and curator specializing in modern and contemporary art and art of the Americas. Her research often focuses on Native North American art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and other areas of expertise include ecocritical art, feminist/women’s art, political/activist art, and art of the American West. Throughout her work, which is grounded in theories of intersectionality, decolonization, and transcultural circuits of influence, she seeks to account for the art and experiences of members of communities that have historically been marginalized.
