Full-Time Faculty
Education Dr. Houghton teaches courses and supervises graduate theses in northern European art, 1400-1750. Before coming to Penn State in 1999, she taught at Duke University. She has been the recipient of both a Prado Museum/Duke University Research Residency in Madrid, Spain, and of a Fulbright Fellowship to Belgium, where she undertook the archival research for her dissertation on the work of Pieter Aertsen. She has published part of this study in The Burlington Magazine, and her “This Was Tomorrow: Pieter Aertsen's Meat Stall as Contemporary Art” appeared in The Art Bulletin (June 2004). For the latter article, she received the College of Arts and Architecture’s 2005 Roy C. Buck Award for Outstanding Publication. Dr. Houghton has also recently reviewed books for both Renaissance Quarterly and Sixteenth Century Journal. Her research interests include the social and political functions of early modern art, as well as issues of sexuality and queerness in Renaissance imagery throughout Europe. She is working on a book entitled “Eros and Erasure in Michelangelo's Early Sacred Art,” and has presented papers related to this project at the College Art Association, the Association of Art Historians (England), and the Renaissance Society of America. Dr. Houghton is also working on a book tentatively titled Imago Ludens: Playfulness in Early Netherlandish Art. She is a recipient of the College of Arts and Architecture Faculty Award for Outstanding Teaching (2001), and of an Institute for the Arts and Humanities Research Residency. In 2007, Dr. Houghton received a Penn State Teaching Fellow Award for Excellence in Teaching, one of three awarded across the statewide Pennsylvania State University system. |
