Dr. Weingarden's philosophy and practice of teaching has evolved over three decades of experience in cross–disciplinary studies that explore the arts and humanities and interpret meanings and impacts within historical, cultural, and societal contexts. Her research interests are modern art, architecture, linguistics, literary theory, and cross–disciplinary interpretation. Her courses include Modern European Art, History of Modern Architecture, 19th-Century French Art, Critical Theory & Museum Practice, and Word & Image Studies seminars. Dr Weingarden's research grants and fellowships include the Dedalus Foundation Senior Research Grant in 2001 for studies in modernism, a visiting scholar position at the the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ in 1990-91 and the J.
