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.

Research Currently in Progess

Shelby, K.(n.d.). Sint Jan/Jan Hoet. In Progress.

Preparations for a book addressing the innovative curator Jan Hoet. One chapter drafted (very rough draft).

Shelby, K.(n.d.). “Kris Martin – Flemish Catholicism and Twenty-First Century Conceptual Art” . In Progress.

Journal article addressing Martin's mining of medieval art and architecture in his contemporary practice.

Shelby, K.(n.d.). Domestic Interiors and Exhibition Installation: Jan Hoet’s Chambres d’amis. In Progress.

Throughout his career, Flemish curator Jan Hoet’s goal was to open up new ways of engaging with both objects and space. This paper examines Hoet’s iconic “Chambres d’amis,” which blurred the boundary between interior and exterior/home and street, indoors and outdoors/interior rooms and patios, private and public/home and public life. For “Chambres d’amis,” over fifty artists were asked to re-create and adapt pieces in their signature style for the site-specificity of fifty private houses in Ghent. As a result, the artworks were removed from any sense of a framing device that defines objects as “art” and, perhaps, created a shift in the very definition and function of art. In this paper, I explore the ways the removal of any sense of a traditional frame served to de-fetishize the artwork while, simultaneously and perhaps unconsciously, creating an installation and creating the impression of a museum period-room. Rather than function as an object of contemplation, the art becomes wholly integrated into the private life of a family.

Shelby, K., Gaspar-Hulvat, M., & McCutcheon, E.(n.d.). Guerilla Girls in the Midst: 1984-87. In Progress.

Guerilla Girls in Our Midst: 1984–87 is a successfully tested Reacting to the Past (RTTP) game developed in close conversation with the RTTP Consortium out of Barnard College. RTTP is an active, learner-centered pedagogy series of historical role-playing games designed for use in higher education and published by UNC Press. Thesegames place students inside moments of historical controversy in ways that engage them with big ideas and further develop their intellectual and creative skills. Students embody roles of particular persons from the period under study, conduct research, write papers, participate in debates, and work together in the classroom to “win” the game.[1]

Guerilla Girls in Our Midst: 1984–87 centers on the artworld in the 1980s, during which a group of young women artists created an activist collective, known as the Guerrilla Girls, that exposed sexism and racism in the contemporary artworld. Major questions engaged by the game are: in what ways is the art world sexist and racist historically and in our world today? Should the artworld embrace calls for affirmative action? What is artistic quality in the contemporary world and who is able to identify it? Who has the power in the artworld and how might it be disrupted?
