Research

edit

Wainwright's historical research is focused on Robert Rauschenberg. Her dissertation, Reading Junk: Thematic Imagery in the Art of Robert Rauschenberg from 1954 to 1964, is cited in the Rauschenberg Research Project, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art[3] and in the book The Great Migrator: Robert Rauschenberg and the Global Rise of American Art, by Hiroko Ikegami, MIT Press, 2010.[4] She states that her study of Rauschenberg has influenced her work at SAIC. "Rauschenberg has helped me be a better dean," she explains. "He touched on every medium, from sculpture and painting to printmaking and art technology. His transdisciplinary approach to art has been such an influence on the way I educate the next generation of artists here."[5] Wainwright was invited to discuss Rauschenberg's life and legacy on Bad At Sports, EPISODE 144.

Currently, she works as the Title IX officer for SAIC for faculty.[6]
