TERROR – THE SERIES
Thomas Cummins is Dumbarton Oaks Professor of the History of Pre-Columbian and Colonial Art, Harvard University.

Cummins publications include Toasts With the Inca: Andean Abstraction and Colonial Images on Kero Vessels (University of Michigan Press, 2002), and Native Traditions in the Postconquest World (Dumbarton Oaks 1998), edited with Elizabeth Boone.
Professor Cummins lecture will also serve as a form of introduction to the “Globalization and Solitudes” colloquium to be held at Green College, March 16 and 17th, 2007.
