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科丽塔肯特的生活和工作。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世纪先锋派的关注的生动参与，使她的实践成为独特的催化剂，用于研究不同信仰在审美情感形成中的相互作用。利用远程访问的资源举行的科里塔艺术中心和那些在收集肯特的论文在哈佛大学的施莱辛格图书馆，我希望建立在现有的社会历史分析肯特的经验，密切关注肯特的互动与天主教徒和不同的信仰。进行文本和视觉材料的密切调查将使我能够开发神学和哲学的关注，在不同信仰之间的宗教差异和碰撞的意义，在塑造审美情感的探索。
