She is an expert in Euro-American neo-avant-gardes, performance and conceptual art, as well as intersectional feminism and taste cultures.
Woods’ current research includes a consideration of the widespread use of food as an object of consumption and a form of political critique in the work of several late-20th-century artists.
The award is among the highest honors an art historian or critic can receive. Woods is one of 19 recipients from a candidate pool of more than 800.
The grant will enable Woods to initiate work toward her second book, which focuses on the pioneering African American painter Bob Thompson (1937-1966).
