Assistant Professor of Art History
Ph.D., 2007, Princeton University
Professor Neville specializes in the history of Northern European architecture
and art, focusing on the multiple centers of Germanic culture after the Thirty
Years War (1618-1648). His dissertation focused on the notable Swedish
architect, Nicodemus Tessin the Elder. His work examines the spread of
Germanic culture in the period of the Thirty Years’ War which displaced many
German artists, including Tessin. Rather than a period of decline, Neville sees
it as an era of the resurgence of Germanic culture that occurred in “marginal”
places such as Copenhagen and Stockholm, and he is concerned to bring to
light the contributions of these distant hubs.

transnational research in her own work and as the director of several collaborative

Modern City (1994) and proposed theories of transnational social connection in
Three Faces of Beauty: Casablanca, Paris, Cairo (2002). The Places We Share,
Migration, Subjectivity and Global Mobility (2007) is a collection of essays on
“serial migrants.” Professor Ossman is interested in the relationship of art to
ethnographic research, a topic she explores in both writing and painting.

Jeffrey Sacks
Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and
Foreign Languages
Ph.D., 2006, Columbia University
Professor Sacks’ research interests include comparative literature, Arabic literature
and culture, postcolonial studies, psychoanalysis, poetry and poetics, and the
relations among violence, mourning, and loss. He is completing a book manuscript
which addresses the relations among literature and mourning in modern Arabic and
Arab Jewish letters, entitled “Opening Figures,” and he is working on a book which
traces figures of indebtedness in literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Professor
Sacks has previously taught at Columbia University, New York University, and the
New School University in New York City.
Todd Sorensen
Assistant Professor of Economics
Ph.D., 2007, University of Arizona
Professor Sorensen’s primary areas of research are in labor economics and applied
microeconomics. His recent work focuses on issues surrounding Mexican migration
to the United States. In his thesis, he modeled how undocumented migrants choose
their border crossing location. He found that a localized increase in enforcement
along the U.S.-Mexico border does indeed affect the crossing decisions made by
migrants, but that a significant proportion of migrants deterred from crossing in one
area will continue to cross into the U.S. through an alternative location. Professor
Sorensen also studies issues related to sentencing equity in the U.S. criminal justice
system.
