Biography

Emily Moore is associate professor of art history at CSU, where she teaches courses in Native American and American art history. She is also Associate Curator of North American Art at the Gregory Allicar Museum at CSU. Raised in a settler family in Ketchikan, Alaska, Emily continues to work with Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian communities to document their rich art histories, and to study the inclusion (and exclusion) of Indigenous North American art in global art history narratives. Her research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Terra Foundation, the Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Fund of the College Art Association, and Sealaska Heritage Foundation, a non-profit based in Juneau, Alaska that is dedicated to supporting Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian culture. When not at CSU, Emily loves to hike and bike whenever possible, often with her two children, her husband, and her Alaskan husky.
