Beth Zinsli is a PhD student in the Department of Art History at UW-Madison. She studies global histories of photography and the art and visual culture of the Americas. She has a particular interest in the transcultural relationships between the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean, manifest in travel, immigration, and commerce. Her work focuses on representations of the body in contemporary photography and visual culture, neo-imperial imaging of Latin America, and questions involving the promiscuity and duplicity of the photographic image and its consequences.
