Carrie Pavel is a Ph.D. candidate in History, Theory and Criticism. Her research focuses on the intersection of early 20th century avant-garde movements and modern architecture, with a particular interest in methodological translations between architecture and other forms of art-making, narratives of diaspora and resettlement, and geopolitical considerations in the production and interpretation of modern architecture. Bringing together these diverse interests, her dissertation project examines the architecture of Romanian-Israeli painter, architect, and Dadaist Marcel Janco.

Carrie holds a M.Arch from the University of Cincinnati, earning her graduating class’s Thesis Award for Distinguished Research. She has served as an appointed member on the College Art Association’s Students and Emerging Professionals Committee and is one of the founding members of the Romania working party of Docomomo International. Her research has been supported by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the US Department of State’s Title VIII program. As a President’s Fellow at Georgia Tech, she serves as a graduate teaching assistant for architectural history and theory courses. Prior to entering the doctoral program, she worked in architecture and in cultural heritage management in the U.S. and abroad.
