Three CUNY Educators Win 2024 Guggenheim Fellowships

April 17, 2024

Art Historian, Interdisciplinary Artist and Philosophy Scholar Win Prominent Prize

Three women from CUNY’s faculty have won prestigious Guggenheim Fellowships in recognition of their groundbreaking contributions to the arts and humanities. This year’s CUNY Guggenheim fellows are interdisciplinary artist  Bang-Guel Han  and philosophy scholar  Barbara Montero , both of the College of Staten Island, and art historian  Claire Bishop , of the CUNY Graduate Center.

“We congratulate Professors Han, Bishop and Montero for their selection as recipients of the highly coveted Guggenheim Fellowship,”  said CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez. “Not only are they dynamic changemakers producing innovative, influential work in their respective fields, they are also devoted faculty members who educate and inspire the next generation of scholars.”

Now in its 99th year, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation this year selected 188 fellows in 52 disciplines from nearly 3,000 applicants. Scholars are honored for work in the social and natural sciences, the humanities and the creative arts, and each recipient receives a stipend to pursue independent work at the highest level under “the freest possible conditions.” Prior recipients include James Baldwin, Rachel Carson and Martha Graham. See the  full list of 2024 Fellows .

Examining Politics, Social Constructs

Han, an associate professor at the College of Staten Island, is an interdisciplinary artist working across video, performance and code. Through her work, she examines the sociopolitical and cultural dimensions of body and language in relation to social structures, representational systems and understandings of self.

“The list of recipients contains so many amazing people – I feel humbled to be in the same company,” Han said, adding that she feels “elated and honored.”

As a Guggenheim Fellow, Han will be working on a new interdisciplinary art project consisting of an experimental tapestry, electronic sculpture and live events in the form of public panel discussions.

Han was born and raised in Seoul and has been based in the United States since 2003. Her work has been shown in The Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Queens Museum, DOOSAN Gallery New York, SangSangMadang in Seoul and Centro Internazionale per l’Arte Contemporanea in Rome.

In her artist statement, Han said that her art practice “critically engages with manifestations of activities often associated with the feminine: talking about emotions, confessions, eavesdropping and gossiping. I’m interested in text as sites of disclosure and declaration that blur and complicate the distinction between public and private.”

Exploring the Mind-Body Problem

Montero is a philosophy professor at the College of Staten Island and the University of Notre Dame. Her experience as a former professional ballet dancer helps inform her research, which is focused on two very different notions of the body: as the physical or material basis of everything, and as the moving, breathing, flesh and blood instrument that we use when we run, walk or dance.

“I feel ecstatic that my work was recognized as worthy of support,” Montero said.

Her Guggenheim project will involve writing a draft of a book to be titled “Things That Matter: Actual-World Metaphysics and the Mind-Body Problem,” which is currently under contract with Oxford University Press. The book will explore what philosophy can teach readers about both themselves and the world they inhabit. “My goal is to methodically complete a full draft. After that’s done, it’s pure pleasure for me,” Montero said.

Montero has won fellowships and awards including the National Endowment for the Humanities Research Fellowship and the American Council of Learned Societies Charles Ryskamp Research Fellowship. She was nominated by Oxford University Press for the Susanne M. Glasscock Humanities Book Prize for Interdisciplinary Scholarship, an award for which publishers are permitted to submit only one book per round.

Critic and Contrarian 

Bishop, a prolific scholar and contemporary art critic, is known for her original and sometimes contrarian views and interpretations. Her book “Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship,” for which she won the 2013 Frank Jewett Mather award, calls for art that engages and challenges its audience in a more intentionally assertive manner.

“So many great scholars have been Guggenheim Fellows, and there are so many I admire on the list of fellows this year. It’s terrific to be in that company,” Bishop said. “It’s also public recognition of a more contemporary and interdisciplinary way of writing.”

Her forthcoming book, “Disordered Attention: How We Look at Art and Performance Today,” due in June from Verso Books, includes four essays about changing patterns of attention in contemporary art and performance since the early 1990s. Her essays and books have been translated into 20 languages. A professor at the CUNY Graduate Center since 2008, she has taught courses on a variety of topics, such as exhibition history, museums of contemporary art, dance and performance, histories of art education and attention and technology.

“Art history can be a very niche bubble, while the media oversimplifies,” she said, speaking of her plans for the Guggenheim. “I’d like to help bring some accessibility to the former and some complexity to the latter.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an apprenticeship how is it different from an internship.

An apprenticeship combines classroom instruction with paid, on-the-job practical experience that is designed from day one with the goal of converting into a full time role. Companies enter this program with the hope of hiring apprenticeships that successfully complete their experience into fulltime roles. It’s a way for students and entry-level workers to learn the skills they need to enter their fields. Internships, on the other hand, are usually shorter and can be early exposure or direct on-ramps to a job, it depends.

Who do I talk to for more information about this program?

You can visit this website for more information or contact your program adviser (you can identify your program adviser )

Will I still graduate on time if I do this program?

The time to complete the job is embedded into your degree program. The job allows you to take up to nine credits of practical, hands-on experience. So, if you remain a full-time student each semester and stay on track, you should still graduate on time, even while holding the job.

How much do these positions pay?

Pay might vary and is determined by the employer.

How many hours a week would this require?

You can be part- or full-time, working up 40 hours a week.

How can students balance these jobs with coursework?

Though the apprenticeship is designed to be completed alongside your academic coursework, class should not interfere with your work requirements. Apprentices can start in the fall or spring. Those who start in the fall can work part-time for approximately 20 hours a week while continuing their academic studies. Students who start their apprenticeship in the spring can work up to 40 hours a week and take one additional class on top.

Am I guaranteed an apprenticeship if I apply?

No. Final decisions are made by the employer.

Am I guaranteed a full-time job after completing the apprenticeship?

The expectation is that you will be offered a full-time employment opportunity after you successfully complete your apprenticeship.

All hiring decisions are at the discretion of participating employers.

What is the New York Jobs CEO Council?

The New York Jobs CEO Council is a coalition led by the CEOs of some of the largest employers in New York, committed to providing access to high-potential jobs for 100,000 low-income New Yorkers by 2030, including 25,000 from CUNY. To learn more, go to the New York Jobs CEO Council website .

Opportunities and challenges following approval of resmetirom for MASH liver disease

Millions of people, and their doctors, have long wished for a pharmacological therapeutic for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), and the FDA’s March 14 approval of resmetirom as the first drug to treat it represents a significant milestone. However, unless there are substantial changes in policy and better disease awareness, most people living with MASH — who are already relatively underserved or neglected — will not directly benefit from regulatory approval for the foreseeable future.

In a commentary for Nature Medicine , Jeffrey Lazarus, Nevin Cohen and colleagues lay out a global roadmap for tackling MASH.

“There is much more we can do beyond treating MASH pharmacologically,” says Jeffrey Lazarus, CUNY SPH professor of global health. “The FDA’s recent approval of resmetirom is a moment of opportunity for us to map out the full spectrum of educational, clinical, policy, industry, and public health steps required to address this fast-growing metabolic disease.”

The authors outline actions that include addressing regulatory inequities in access to the drug, swiftly scaling up production, increasing awareness of the disease, and facilitating the development of non-invasive diagnostic tools.

They note that integrating resmetirom into clinical practice will require multidisciplinary treatment approaches, addressing mental health issues and providing comprehensive education to healthcare providers. Combination with non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), such as nutrition and exercise, will be essential.

Moreover, the authors advocate broad policy efforts to address the social and commercial determinants of health that have led to the prevalence of metabolic liver disease. To that end, Lazarus will be leading a MASH side-event at the UN General Assembly this autumn.

“Resmetirom is a potent new weapon in the battle against liver disease, but success hinges on broadening healthcare access, eliminating food insecurity, and reducing disparities in access to healthy food,” notes Nevin Cohen, director of the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute. “Commitments to both upstream and downstream approaches to fighting liver disease are key to reducing chronic disease and enabling people around the globe to live healthier, longer lives.”
