About Me

Dr. Jocelyn E. Marshall (she/they) is an Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art History and allied faculty in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of South Florida. She previously was a Postdoctoral Fellow supported by the American Association of University Women and a Dissertation Scholar at Brandeis University’s Women’s Studies Research Center. Their dissertation won the 2024 National Women’s Studies Association – University of Illinois Press First Book Award and the 2023 College Art Association’s Professional Development Fellowship in Art History Honorable Mention. Her interdisciplinary projects are rooted in contemporary art history and queer and feminist studies, with an emphasis on U.S.-based diasporic women and LGBTQ+ artists. Their research has been supported by the Mark Diamond Research Foundation, New York Public Library, and John Burton Harter Foundation, among others. Her work is featured in Art Journal Open, Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory, JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, Public Art Dialogue, Journal of American Culture, Tripwire: A Journal of Poetics, and elsewhere. One of their current book projects, tentatively titled Dissent Nearby: Diasporic Feminism & U.S. Imperialism, is under advance contract with the University of Illinois Press, and, in 2022, she edited a collection on Trauma-Informed Pedagogy: Addressing Gender-Based Violence in the Classroom (Emerald Publishing).

Her service appointments and curatorial and editorial work center LGBTQ+ and BIPOC feminist contemporary art, film, new media, and performance, such as with the exhibitions Being In-Between | In-Between Being (UB Art Galleries, 2020-21) and Creativity in the Time of Covid-19 – Buffalo NY (multi-site, 2023). In Spring 2023, they edited a multimedia, multi-genre issue of Rutgers University’s feminist journal Rejoinder, themed “Textual-Sexual-Spiritual: Artistic Practice and Other Rituals as Queer Becoming and Beyond.” She previously Co-Chaired the Gender & Feminisms Caucus at the Society for Cinema & Media Studies (2023-25) and served on the College Art Association’s Committee on Women in the Arts (2020-23), where they co-led the Feminist Interview Project. She presently serves on the Editorial Board of Art Journal.
