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里塔·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们的关系，以及她对二十世纪中叶前卫艺术关注的积极参与，使她的实践成为审视不同信仰在审美情感形成过程中相互作用的独特催化剂。利用远程访问科里塔艺术中心的资源以及哈佛大学施莱辛格图书馆肯特论文集中的资源，我希望通过仔细关注肯特与天主教徒以及不同信仰之间的互动，以对肯特经历的现有社会历史分析为基础。对文本和视觉材料进行仔细研究将使我能够在探索宗教差异和不同信仰之间的碰撞对塑造审美情感的意义时发展神学和哲学关注。
