Nancy Siegel, Ph.D., professor of art history and culinary history, recently opened the exhibition Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere in the New York City. A multi-year project, she is both a contributing scholar to the catalogue with the essay “The Work of Art and the Art of Work: Prints and Ephemera by Paul Revere” and serves as registrar for the show, traveling with and overseeing the installation of the exhibition at each of its four venues: New-York Historical Society, Worcester Art Museum, Concord Museum, and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. #BeyondRevere
In addition, she is the recipient of a 2019 Georgian Papers Fellowship from the Royal Collection Trust, London and Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture where she spent this past summer in residence at Windsor Castle studying the letters of George III as research for a book chapter “Feeding the Body Politic: Culinary Satire in the Reign of George III.” This research also contributes to an international exhibition she is curating on political satires, Curious Taste: The Appeal of Transatlantic Satire, which opens at Yale University in 2022 and will travel to England and Germany.
Dr. Siegel will return to Windsor this October to complete her fellowship and, in May of 2020, she will serve as a scholar-in-residence at the Obama Institute for Transnational American Studies, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany where she will spend time writing her book-length manuscript Political Appetites: Revolution, Taste, and Culinary Activism in the Early Republic while conducting culinary tours, providing cooking demonstrations, and lecturing on the influence of 18th-century German cuisine in Colonial America.
