Image: The Center for Asian Studies welcomes David Odo, the new director of the Georgia Museum of Art, as a faculty affiliate. David comes to museum from Harvard Art Museums, where he was director of academic and public programs, division head and research curator. Odo made a name for himself by leading numerous initiatives that connected departments and schools across the university with the museums. Odo is a visual and material anthropologist, an expert on 19th-century Japanese photography, and has published and lectured widely on that subject and museum pedagogy. His research and teaching interests are in the anthropology of art, the body in art and material culture and the intersections of art and medicine. Odo earned his D.Phil. in social and cultural anthropology from the University of Oxford and his B.A. from Columbia University in East Asian studies. Welcome, David! We look forward to working with you.
