Anne Dymond

Anne Dymond, Ph.D. (Queen's University, 2000), is Associate Professor of Art History & Museum Studies in the Department of Art. Anne's recent research has focused on issues of diversity and inclusion in Canadian art museums, and her book Diversity Counts: Gender, Race, and Representation in Canadian Art Galleries was published by McGill-Queen's University Press in 2019. Prior research projects focused on politics, power, cultural geography, and gender in late 19th and early 20th-century French art including the painter Paul Signac's depictions of the south of France as a utopian paradise; and how regional and national identity are constructed in tourist posters, folk costumes, museums, and world’s fairs.

In 2018, she was honoured as a University of Lethbridge Board of Governor's Teaching Chair. In 2019, she was awarded the University of Lethbridge Senate Volunteer Award for her work supporting Syrian refugees in southern Alberta and her ongoing work with the student group World University Service of Canada, which sponsors a refugee student to attend the University annually. She is Treasurer of the Universities Art Association of Canada, and Editor of the premiere national art history journal, RACAR. She has worked at the University of Lethbridge since 2000.
