Dr. Shelby's publications focus on the visual culture of the Great War with an emphasis on the memory of the conflict in Belgium, specifically Flemish nationalism, the cultural politics of exhibition narratives of the war in museums along the Western Front; memorials and cemetery design; and the role of pilgrimage in First World War mourning practice. Her publications include Flemish Nationalism and the Great War: The Politics of Memory, Visual Culture and Commemoration (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014) and Belgian Museums of the Great War: Politics, Memory, and Commerce (Routledge, 2016).
Her current research addresses the innovative exhibition practices of Flemish curator Jan Hoet.
Dr. Shelby is co-founder of Art History Teaching Resources (AHTR), a peer-populated platform for art history teachers. AHTR is home to a collectively authored online repository of art history teaching content including, but not limited to, lesson plans, video introductions to museums, book reviews, image clusters, and classroom and museum activities. The site promotes discussion and reflection around new ways of teaching and learning in the art history classroom through a peer-populated blog, and fosters a collaborative virtual community for art history instructors at all career stages.
She is also co-founder of Art History Pedagogy and Practice (AHPP), a peer-reviewed open access e-journal devoted to scholarship of teaching and learning in art history.
