Installation proposal
"Accidental Publics" will be a two-day symposium focusing on temporary public artworks that address an "accidental public" - people, viewers, an audience, or passersby who are not expecting to encounter art. The purpose is to theorize and compare the strategies of projects that attempt to bridge the art and everyday life divide in present tense and real space, and to engage discussion that explores our intentions for, and the effects of, choosing to work in this way.
The symposium is sponsored by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Sculpture, Performance, and Arts Administration Departments and Northwestern University's Department of Art Theory and Practice. It will include presentations by invited artists as well as faculty, students, and alumni of area colleges and universities.
I will be presenting the ReDressing New Orleans project. 2008.

Awards/Honors
Awarded a Munitz Fund course release for Spring 2009 for preparation for conferences and publications.
Grants/Fellowships
Submitted a proposal for a three year grant to the Documenting Endangered Languages Program at the National Science Foundation to work on an exciting new interdisciplinary project with an archaeologist at UCLA (Danny Zborover) and a linguist at the Instituto Nacional de AntropologÃa e Historia (Rosa MarÃa Rojas Torres). This project, ‘A Study of Highland Chontal as Spoken in Santa Maria Zapotitlan’, is currently under consideration. If granted it would allow for the three of us, two Mexican graduate students, and a CSULA student to conduct field work the summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012. It would also allow me to take one course off per quarter to fulfill the research requirements of the grant. This community based and controlled project would result in a high quality, digital audio-visual archive of this highly endangered language, literacy workshops and language revitalization workshops in the community, training of native speakers in basic documentary linguistics, a dialect survey of all dialects of Highland Chontal, and both practical and academic dictionaries and grammars of Highland Chontal as spoken in Santa Maria Zapotitlan intended for use in language revitalization efforts and by academics.
Publications
(Submitted) ‘Un testamento zapoteco del Valle de Oaxaca, 1616’, co-authored with Pamela Munro, Kevin Terraciano, Xochitl Flores, Michael Galant, and Diana Schwartz, to ACERVOS (Oaxaca, Mexico). This paper, a collaboration between historians and linguists, examines an important document from the valley of Oaxaca, 1616. This paper emphasizes the historical and linguistic significance of this important paper, and is the result of years of work of an interdisciplinary group at UCLA.
