Peter Chametsky
I am an art historian doing research in 20th and 21st century German art and culture. My most recent book is a multicultural study of contemporary German art: Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art (MIT Press, 2021). I am excited to work at this time with the great faculty, staff, and students of the SEOE and honored to serve as Interim Director of the School.
