Dr. Caitlin Bruce, Assistant Professor of Communications at the University of Pittsburgh, is one of two 2025 Faculty Fellows. Her fellowship project, Aesthetics of Solidarity: The Intermedia Politics of Transnational Movement, investigates how street art, murals, and other public visual media foster cross-border solidarity and serve as vehicles for civic dialogue in global social movements. Focusing on case studies in Mexico, France, and Argentina, Dr. Bruce’s work traces how visual culture intersects with migration, memory, and protest. Through public programming, student engagement, and research collaboration, her fellowship will enrich conversations on transnational activism and the aesthetics of global justice.
