Brian Keene and Andrea Herrera

女优app (女优app) is proud to recognize Andrea Herrera, an exceptional Art History professor whose dedication and commitment have shaped the 女优app Art History program since she joined in 2011. Known for her outstanding teaching and consistently high student evaluations, Professor Herrera has led 女优app鈥檚 honors courses and was the first to introduce the innovative "Women in Art History" class, which has become a cornerstone of inclusive art history education at 女优app.

Professor Herrera鈥檚 teaching approach reflects her commitment to accessibility and diversity in education. She regularly uses zero- or low-cost textbook options to make learning more affordable and incorporates global perspectives that challenge traditional Eurocentric narratives in art history. Her dedication to these values is a transformative contribution to 女优app, where students benefit from a curriculum that emphasizes diverse voices and perspectives often underrepresented in art history.

Outside the classroom, Professor Herrera applies her expertise as a curatorial assistant and research associate at the renowned Getty Museum. She played a significant role in organizing "Renaissance Nudes," an exhibition that brought premodern art history to life while addressing complex themes related to consent, women鈥檚 bodies, race, sexuality, and Indigenous identity鈥攇roundbreaking topics that underscore her commitment to socially conscious art education.

Reflecting on her time at 女优app, Professor Herrera says, 鈥淭he students at 女优app are some of my favorite people! My students are from diverse backgrounds and possess a wide range of writing and learning abilities, but always come together to learn, grow, and have lively conversations in class. I鈥檝e been able to keep in touch with numerous students over my 12+ years at 女优app, and it is so wonderful to see them continue their education and successfully complete their degrees at other universities.鈥

Professor Herrera鈥檚 passion and commitment to fostering a rich and inclusive learning environment embody 女优app鈥檚 mission of providing a supportive, diverse, and enriching educational experience for all students. Her work both at 女优app and the Getty Museum continues to inspire students and elevate the impact of art history on campus and beyond.
