Curator of Exhibitions, USC Libraries
Andrew Wulf is a PhD candidate in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom. His dissertation studies the genesis of exhibition culture in American foreign policy and addresses U.S. cultural exhibitions in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, from 1938 through 2003. He received his MA in Art History and Museum Studies at the University of Southern California in 2005.
Andrew began his museum career at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 2002, and has since worked as an exhibitions curator at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, where he held a curatorial role on the blockbuster Einstein exhibition in 2004 and at USC's Fisher Museum of Art. In his current position as Curator of Exhibitions for the USC Libraries, he has curated over twenty cultural exhibitions that explore a wide range of human endeavor, including political subjects such as the Armenian Genocide, the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, and the history of book burning. His most recent presented paper, at USC's Association of Public Diplomacy Scholars symposium, "Cultural Diplomacy: Clash or Conversation?", focused on the concept of American "degeneracy" in late 18th century Europe and how the United States used cultural exhibitions to counter jingoistic attitudes toward the young American republic.
As a CPD University Fellow, he has promoted collaboration and dialogue between museum and public diplomacy practitioners while investigating how civic and educative programming, like exhibitions, can serve people's lives more dynamically through cultural diplomacy models.
