Career
[edit]Susan Dackerman began her career at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1995 as an Assistant Curator, eventually becoming an Associate Curator (1998-99), and finally served as Curator, Department of Prints, Drawings, Photographs, and Illustrated Books from 1999 to 2004.[2] From 2005 through 2015, Dackerman served as Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints[2] at the Harvard Art Museums, where she directed collaborative exhibition projects and produced publications, involving faculty, students, conservators, librarians, and museum educators. Dackerman also participated in the planning for the architectural renovation and re-installation of the Harvard Art Museums building.
From 2015 to 2017, Dackerman was a Getty Scholar at the Getty Research Institute[3] (GRI) in Los Angeles. As GRI Consortium Professor in 2017, Dackerman taught the graduate seminar, “Art and Anthropology,” to students from an association of southern California universities. In 2017, Dackerman was appointed director of Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University[3] where she oversaw the artistic program and operations of the university's art museum.
In November 2020, Dackerman resigned as director of Cantor Arts Center after an external investigation reported that she had created a toxic work environment leading to high staff turnover.[4]
