  • Assistant Teaching Professor

Molly Todd is a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and the International Affairs Program. She earned her PhD in 2023 from the interdisciplinary ASPECT program at Virginia Tech, where her research focused on community-engaged art and borders in the Americas. Her research employs collaborative methods across sites in Brazil, Mexico, and the United States to observe & participate in the ways that artistic production navigates and shapes border politics and their imaginaries. She has published several articles reflecting these efforts, as well as a chapter in the edited volume Maré from the Inside: Art, Culture, and Politics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (VT Publishing 2021).
