Nada Shabout has been an Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of North Texas since 2002, teaching about Arab visual culture and Islamic art. Shabbout is the curator of the traveling exhibition "Dafatir: Contemporary Iraqi Book Art," (2005-2007) and "Moments from 20th Century Iraqi Art," which was held at the Montalvo Art Center in California (2007-2008). She is the author of several articles and publications that examine the legal and ethical responsibilities of the US in Iraq following its invasion in 2003. Her latest publication, Modern Arab Art: Formation of Arab Aesthetics (2007), is considered a valuable study of Arab art from the 1940s to the present. Nada Shabout is, currently, a Fulbright Scholar who teaches a course on the history of contemporary Arab art at the University of Jordan in Amman. [Lecture in Arabic]
