María Fernández is an associate professor at the Cornell Department of History of Art & Visual Studies. Her research and teaching concern three areas and their intersections: the history and theory of digital and new media art, Latin American art, and feminist media art, with attention to postcolonial/decolonial theories. She is the author of Cosmopolitanism in Mexican Visual Culture (Texas University Press 2014), for which she won the Arvey Book Award by the Association for Latin American Art in 2015. She is now writing a book on the work of British cybernetician Gordon Pask, and on the contributions of women artists working in new media to posthumanism and new materialisms.
