Margot Yale

Margot Yale is a Provost Fellow and PhD candidate in the Department of Art History, as well as a recipient of the Visual Studies Graduate Certificate. She studies American art in the twentieth century, with particular interests in printmaking, histories of the Left and organized labor, pedagogy and community-oriented practice, and the racial, ethnic, class, and gender diversity of America’s body politic. Research for her dissertation, tentatively titled “From Red Feminism to the Blacklist: Labor Schools and the Work of Art, 1935–1957,” has been supported by the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley and the Visual Studies Research Institute at USC. Prior to joining the department at USC, Margot worked as a cataloguer in the Department of Drawings and Prints at MoMA. She has curated exhibitions at Equity Gallery, New York, Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn (with the No Longer Empty Curatorial Lab), and the Princeton University Art Museum. Margot received her BA in art history and American Studies from Princeton University, where she graduated summa cum laude.
