Postdoctoral Fellow
Dorothy Barenscott’s interdisciplinary research relates to the interplay between urban space and emerging media forms, and the role of technology and embodied vision in the articulation of a range of modern and postmodern identities. Barenscott’s publication record reflects these interests with examinations of painted panoramas, experimental cinema, modern architecture, and conceptual photography. Her work has appeared in publications such as Postmodern Culture Journal, Mediascape, Slovo, Left History, and Victorian Review. She has presented her work internationally at conferences and invited talks, and lectured on visual art and theory at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and the University of Lethbridge.
Barenscott completed her Ph.D in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia in 2007 with a dissertation titled, “Troubling Modernity: Spatial Politics, Technologies of Seeing, and the Crisis of the City and the World’s Exhibition in Fin de Siècle Budapest.” She has held a doctoral fellowship with the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada and is a past recipient of the Simons Foundation Doctoral Scholarship. She is currently taking up a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Cultural Studies Department at Trent University.
