Adair Rounthwaite is a Professor and the Floyd Delores Jones Endowed Professor in the Department of Art History at the University of Washington. Her academic work focuses on contemporary art, particularly performance, audience participation, conceptualism, and institutional critique. She has a dual geographic focus on North America and the former Yugoslav states, and her research examines how public space enables personal creativity and the articulation of new identities. Rounthwaite's book, 'Asking Audience: Participatory Art in the 1980s New York', published in 2017, investigates the agency of audiences in participatory art and discusses case studies of significant projects. She is also working on a forthcoming book that analyzes contemporary art and cultural policy produced in right-wing communities across the United States and post-socialist Europe from 1965 to the present. In addition to her books, she has published articles in several global contemporary art journals and held a postdoctoral position at McGill University before joining the University of Washington in 2015.
