Bio: Can Bilsel is an architect and historian specialized in modern architecture, modern housing, museum displays, histories of archaeology and archaeological reconstructions, the repatriation of material culture, and the intersections of art, architecture and politics in Europe and the Middle East. In his writings and teaching Bilsel explores decolonial and postcolonial methodologies that provincializes Europe, and experiments with alternative ways of recalling cultural and collective memories. Shortly after he joined the University of San Diego, Bilsel was appointed Department Chair. During his tenure as Chair, the Department of Art, Architecture and Art History has grown into one of the largest and most vibrant interdisciplinary departments of the College of Arts and Sciences. Bilsel designed with his colleagues the B.A. in Architecture degree program, and served as the founding Director of the Architecture Program. In addition to or prior to his tenure at the University of San Diego, Bilsel taught or worked in different capacities at MIT, Princeton University, UCLA, and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles |
