Additional Information
Biography
Kimberly Minor is from coastal Georgia, trading the tidal saltwater marshes for the vast fields of prairie grass in Nebraska.
She earned her B.A. in Art History from Wesleyan College, M.A. from University of Nebraska - Lincoln, and Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma.
Her research broadly focuses on American art, with interests in art of the early American West, and Native American material culture from the Northern Plains.
Research Focus
My research focuses on Mandan and Hidatsa material culture analyzing painted pictographic bison robes, shirts, and drawings that document shifting representations of Indigenous masculinity and martial accomplishments during the nineteenth century.
This scholarship has also led me to study maps of the eighteenth and nineteenth century visually reflecting critical links to ancestral Indigenous history and challenging settler narratives of place and land.
Other research and teaching interests include the art and visual culture of West Africa and its diaspora.

- M.A., University of Nebraska - Lincoln
- Ph.D., University of Oklahoma
Scheduled Teaching
