Cox, assistant professor of visual arts, presented a paper, “The
Intersection of Critical Race Theory and Visual Activism,” at the Cultural
Studies Association's recent Second Annual Conference at Northeastern

the possibilities of visual arts to challenge viewers to contemplate their
racial and gendered consciousness. The paper considers the work of Adrian Piper
and highlights the recent work in Critical Race Theory.
