Biography

John-Michael H. Warner is an art historian trained in gender and women’s studies. Professor Warner teaches histories and theories of contemporary art, feminist and queer art and theory, and contemporary photography as well as environmental art history—each from a feminist and queer perspective. John-Michael holds a Bachelor’s degree in History and Art History from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, a Master’s degree in Art History from Arizona State University, and a PhD in Art History and a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies from the University of Arizona. Warner’s first manuscript Border Spaces: The U.S.-Mexico Frontera (University of Arizona, 2018), co-edited with Katherine G. Morrissey, is a series of art historical and environmental histories of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands from the turn of the twentieth-century through the turn of the twenty-first century. In January 2020, John-Michael was awarded an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-Confluence Center Fronteridades Fellowship, collaborating with Mary Jenea Sanchez, Gabriela Muñoz, and DouglaPrieta Trabaja. In addition, he is working on a manuscript that attends to Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Running Fence: A Project for California. Warner’s research interests include: border/borderlands studies, land use studies, ecocritical studies, theories of modern sculpture, social/relational art, and theorizing publics.
