Biography

Mary Hunter specializes in nineteenth-century French art and visual culture and teaches courses on modern and contemporary art. Her research projects and publications examine the relationship between art and medicine, focusing on Impressionism and the role of contemporary historical art and material culture in hospitals. Current research includes a SSHRC-funded book project, 'Waiting: Slow Time in the Impressionist Era', which explores experiences and representations of waiting in nineteenth-century France, analyzing various artworks, photographs, and media events. Hunter's collaborative projects have included examining artists like Berthe Morisot and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, exploring themes of identity and phenomenology. She has held administrative leadership positions at McGill University and engages actively with various committees linked to the McGill Visual Arts Collection and the Maude Abbott Medical Museum.
