Rachel Sullivan

Rachel Sullivan is a distinguished scholar and educator specializing in Applied Arts with a focus on the intersection of contemporary artistic practices and cultural theory. As the Head of the Department of Applied Arts at Boston Coast University, she has dedicated the past few decades to advancing the study and appreciation of visual and material culture through a dynamic and interdisciplinary lens.

Dr. Sullivan’s scholarly work is deeply rooted in the exploration of how applied arts influence and reflect social, cultural, and political contexts. Her research interests span a broad spectrum, from contemporary design and craft practices to the historical evolution of applied arts traditions. She examines the ways in which artistic practices contribute to cultural discourse, foster community engagement, and address contemporary societal issues.

A prolific author and editor, Dr. Sullivan has contributed to numerous publications on topics ranging from the aesthetics of everyday objects to the role of craft in modern art movements. Her notable works include the co-edited volume Crafting Contemporary Narratives: The Art of Everyday Objects and her monograph Beyond the Surface: The Cultural Impact of Applied Arts in the 21st Century (Harvard University Press). Her recent research has focused on the role of applied arts in urban regeneration and its potential to act as a catalyst for social change.

Dr. Sullivan is committed to expanding the boundaries of applied arts as a field of scholarly inquiry. Her approach integrates methodologies from art history, cultural studies, and design theory to investigate how applied arts practices intersect with broader cultural and historical phenomena. Her work seeks to illuminate the ways in which applied arts shape and are shaped by global cultural exchanges, technological advancements, and shifting aesthetic paradigms.

As an educator, Dr. Sullivan is passionate about fostering a creative and critical learning environment for her students. She is dedicated to mentoring emerging artists and scholars, encouraging them to explore innovative approaches to applied arts, and preparing them for successful careers in a diverse and evolving field.

Dr. Sullivan's extensive experience, combined with her commitment to both scholarly excellence and effective teaching, makes her a leading figure in the field of Applied Arts. Her work continues to inspire new generations of artists, scholars, and practitioners at Boston Coast University and beyond.
