Julia K. Dabbs has taught students from a great variety of majors how to actively and critically read visual images. Dabbs is an exceptional example of a teacher/scholar who connects easily with students because she is always attentive to the individual student’s abilities, interests, and aspirations. Specializing in Renaissance Art and the History of Early Modern women artists, Professor Dabbs published a collection of life stories of women artists from 1550 to 1800 most of which were not available in English.
