Kate Cowcher is Lecturer in Art History at the University of St. Andrews. She was previously Postdoctoral Fellow in Modern and Contemporary Art at the University of Maryland's Center for Art and Knowledge at the Phillips Collection. She completed her doctoral thesis at Stanford University in 2017. It explored art and visual culture in the Ethiopian Revolution (1974-1991), and forms the basis of her first book (currently in progress). Her research has been supported by a Graduate Fellowship from Stanford University and the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship from the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA) at the National Gallery, Washington D.C.
Kate's broader research interests include modern and contemporary art in Africa and the Diaspora, African socialism, legacies of the Cold War in African visual culture, cultural exchange between Africa and Soviet/post-Soviet Russia and African cinema. She has recently begun work on her second research project, exploring on modern African art in Britain, in the era of colonial independence. That latter has received initial support from the Scottish Society for Art History.
