I really mean it when I say that I hope I can be as good of an advisor and mentor to my future students as my advisors and mentors have been to me throughout the years.

And stay tuned for the exhibition album for *this* exhibit, which I am the lead author of! Opening this fall at UTK Libraries, “Beauford Delaney: Light Beyond the Canvas” ✨

Katrina Stack @katgeographic.bsky.social · Aug 6

I was also able to include things like the exhibit album from Paris Noir at @centrepompidou.bsky.social, which I brought back from my visit in May. By including nods to recent exhibitions that featured Delaney, it emphasizes his continued importance and connections to items in this collection.

I finished my fellowship position for the Beauford Delaney Papers Collection last week. This part of the exhibit is one of my contributions. One case highlights his sketches that precede his Rosa Parks series, while the other than explores his relational geographies in Knoxville, NYC, and Paris.

I probably spent more time on this postdoc app than any other application I’ve submitted and I hope it makes a difference.

If you only want sites that highlight “beauty, abundance, or grandeur," then you don't care about actual history — you want propaganda. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

Signs to police 'negative' history went up at Manzanar. Historians are nervous.

Last week, I took a spontaneous trip back to Paris. I didn't open my laptop the entire time I was there, and I loved every minute. It was the reset I needed.

Katrina Stack @katgeographic.bsky.social · May 19

The highlight of my return to Paris was definitely Paris Noir at @centrepompidou.bsky.social. Studying Beauford Delaney for the last two years and seeing so many of his works in one place was truly special.

PhD candidate Katrina Stack is the research fellow for the Beauford Delaney Papers Collection at UT Libraries. Read this article that discusses how she brought her perspective as a geographer to studying the archive of an abstract expressionist artist.
