Jamie Ratliff

Dr. Jamie L. Ratliff is a contemporary art historian whose research focuses specifically on the arts of Mexico and Latin America and gender studies. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art History in the department of Art & Design at the University of Minnesota Duluth. She completed her Ph.D. in art history from the University of Louisville in 2012, as well as graduate certificates in Women's and Gender Studies and Latin American and Latino Studies. She holds a B.A. in Fine Arts from Georgetown College (Georgetown, Ky.) and an M.A. in Art History from Tufts University in Boston.

Her dissertation proposed a theoretical framework for contextualizing contemporary women's art in Mexico within the monumental social, political, and economic changes that have characterized contemporary understandings of the nation since 1968. Her current research projects similarly analyze how contemporary feminist art critiques the legacy of conflating "womanhood" and "nationhood" that has plagued Mexican art and visual culture since the early modern period. She has previously taught art history courses at the University of Louisville, Indiana University Southeast, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, online courses for the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, Bellarmine University, and the University of Kentucky; she also served as the Faculty Advisor for The Georgetonian, the student newspaper at Georgetown College, for 10 years.
