Kristopher W. Kersey’s research focuses on the intersecting histories of Japanese art, design, and aesthetics. His most advanced project is Facing Images, a book manuscript that investigates the issues of materiality, layering, and montage in the secular and Buddhist manuscripts of the long twelfth century. Further research and teaching interests include gender, narrative scrolls (emaki), photography, historiography, and theory. His research has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship (predoctoral) at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA) as well as the Anne van Biema Fellowship at the National Museum of Asian Art (Smithsonian Institution).
