Amanda Badgett, Instructor of Art History
I have been teaching at Napa Valley College since 2003, first as an adjunct and then in 2008, as a full-time Art History instructor. I received my undergraduate degree from the College of William and Mary in Virginia and did my graduate work at Columbia University. My scholarly interests include the interesection of architecture and identity, as well as the ways in which monuments and landscape shape our ideas of loss and memory.
