Tiffany is a PhD candidate specializing in twentieth-century Iraqi art, working on understanding the relationship between Iraqi modern art and the country's rich antique past. Her primary research interest thus include the politics of archaeology and time, the construction of modern artistic and intellectual identity in Iraq, and the deconstruction of the complex modernist category of "Mesopotamia." Her other interests center on the history of photography, postcolonial theory, modes of affective reception and the destruction of Iraq's cultural heritage. As a graduate student, Tiffany has worked on several important field projects including the Mathaf Encyclopedia of Modern Art and the Arab World and the Modern Art Iraq Archive.
