Braden Lee Scott is a PhD candidate of art history at McGill University. In his dissertation, Building Worlds: Ancient Architecture in the Netherlandish Archaeological Imagination, he pieces together the globalizing process of sixteenth-century antiquarian art through case studies on Rome, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. This is a continued interest in archaeological methods across media that began with his MA thesis on Kent Monkman at Concordia’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema. His first book Kent Monkman’s Miss Chief Trilogy will be published by McGill-Queen’s University Press in 2023, and his paper on Egyptian architectural granite in the ancient Roman Empire that he presented at the Association for Art History in London in 2018 will be published in an upcoming book on global architectural infrastructure. The Fonds de recherché du Québec and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada support his doctoral research.
