Jennifer L. Roberts is Elizabeth Cary Agassiz Professor of the Humanities and Johnson-Kulukundis Family Faculty Director of the Arts at Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Focusing on British and American art from the colonial period onward, she has particular interests in print history, material studies, the theory and practice of making, and the history and philosophy of science. Roberts is the author of three books spanning American art from the 1760s to the 1970s: Mirror-Travels: Robert Smithson and History (2004), Jasper Johns / In Press: The Crosshatch Works and the Logic of Print (2012), and Transporting Visions: The Movement of Images in Early America (2014). She is coauthor of the textbook American Encounters: Art, History, and Cultural Identity (2007). Her current book project, The Matrix: Contemporary Art and the Life of Print, explores the way in which artists after 1960 embraced the physical and philosophical fecundity of printmaking processes. She received her AB in English and art history from Stanford University (1992) and her PhD in history of art from Yale University (2000).
