My proposed project concerns the life and work of the artist, educator, and Roman Catholic nun, Corita Kent. Kent's position within the Catholic church, her relationships with people across religious beliefs, and her lively engagement with the concerns of the mid-twentieth-century avant-garde makes her practice unique as a catalyst for examining the interplay of different faiths in the formation of aesthetic sensibilities. Utilising remote access to resources held at the Corita Art Center and those in the collection of Kent's papers at Harvard University's Schlesinger Library, I hope to build on the existing social historical analysis of Kent's experiences by paying careful attention to Kent's interactions with Catholics and across different faiths. Carrying out close investigations of textual and visual material will allow me to develop theological and philosophical concerns in an exploration of the significance of religious difference and collisions between different faiths in shaping aesthetic sensibilities.

我提议的项目涉及艺术家，教育家和罗马天主教修女Corita Kent的生活和工作。肯特在天主教会中的地位，她与不同宗教信仰的人的关系，以及她对二十世纪中期前卫艺术的关注，使她的实践成为一种独特的催化剂，可以研究不同信仰在审美情感形成中的相互作用。利用远程访问在科里塔艺术中心和哈佛大学施莱辛格图书馆收藏的肯特论文的资源，我希望通过仔细关注肯特与天主教徒和不同信仰的互动，建立在对肯特经历的现有社会历史分析的基础上。对文本和视觉材料的深入研究将使我在探索宗教差异和不同信仰之间的碰撞在塑造审美感性方面的意义时，发展神学和哲学方面的关注。
