We would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest faculty addition, Dr. Hsin-Ching Wu! Dr. Wu joins the tenure-track faculty of the Arts Management Program as an Assistant Professor and will teach undergraduate courses in strategic planning and arts marketing. Her research agenda focuses on the intersection of nonprofit arts and cultural management, public administration and policy, and social equity. In her dissertation, Dr. Wu studied the politics of arts funding with a case study of the Massachusetts Cultural Council. With a background in American Studies and expertise in researching racial and ethnic issues, Dr. Wu is particularly interested in representations of diverse art forms and narratives in cultural institutions. She has served as a research affiliate at New York University, and she has prior experience in collection management at the galleries of the University of Buffalo (SUNY) and as a collection manager for the late gallerist and collector, David K. Anderson, and his estate. Dr. Wu is a 2021 Founders Fellow for the American Society for Public Administration. She is currently working on several projects, including the utilization of arts and culture as strategies for place branding, the use of social media in municipal governance for content creation and citizen engagement, and a comparative analysis of arts management education systems between the U.S. and Taiwan. Inspired by the thoughts of John Dewey, who said: "art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians; it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality," Dr. Wu has taken up watercolor painting in her free time since the pandemic to learn more about the artist's journey. Dr. Wu is also a proud dog owner, who enjoys spending time with her Moyen poodle. Welcome, Dr. Wu!
