Special Collections Research Fellows Speaker Series: Zoey Kambour, 2023 Martha Thorsland Baker Fellow

Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) is pleased to host an ongoing series of lectures by traveling fellows whose research and expertise include feminist science fiction, Oregon lesbian intentional communities, the novelist Ken Kesey, conservative and libertarian political movements, as well as print and print culture. Talks are free, open to the public and held virtually on Zoom. More information, including applications for future fellowships, is available on SCUA’s website here.

December’s discussion features Zoey Kambour, 2023 Martha Thorsland Baker Fellow. 

Zoey Kambour is a PhD student in medieval art history at CUNY's Graduate Center and an adjunct lecturer in art history at Pace University. They received their MA in art history from the University of Oregon in 2021, where they wrote a thesis on eleventh century Beatus manuscripts. After their MA, they served as the Post-Graduate Fellow in European and American Art at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, where they conducted independent research on the manuscript they are presenting on in addition to their curatorial duties at the museum. They are hoping to write a dissertation on the marginal faces created by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish students in the Middle Ages, inspired by this project.
