Rebecca DeRoo University of Chicago Rebecca DeRoo received her B.A.  In Art History from Bryn Mawr College (1992).  With a Rotary Foundation Fellowship, she studied photography at the Ecole Superieure des Arts Visuels in Geneva, Switzerland (1992-93).   In 1994, she received her MA In Art History from the University of Chicago where she is currently pursuing her doctorate in History of Photography.  She has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to conduct research in France next year for her dissertation on Christian Boltanski, Annette Messager, and Jean LeGac. In research and practice, she has investigated formats assumed to be neutral, such as the newspaper photograph, postcard, movie poster, and family album photograph, and has examined hoe these formats frame their subjects.   Her recent photographic work experiments with collage and mixed media; her research addresses how photographers have sought to expand meanings through drawing attention to framing and installation as a part of an image and not merely its silent background.
