Zoe Weldon-Yochim is a scholar of contemporary art whose research examines how visual and material culture engages the intertwined histories of nuclear colonialism, ecological violence, and U.S. militarism. Grounded in art history, her work moves across Indigenous studies, environmental humanities, and science and technology studies to explore how artists visualize contested environments, toxic temporalities, and alternative ways of knowing and relating to land. Her first book project, Atomic Afterlives, Earthly Hauntings: American Art and Nuclear Remains, examines how artists working from the late Cold War to nearly the present moment expose the durational residues of nuclear presence and unsettle dominant forms of nuclear-scientific visuality. Her research has been supported by the Henry Luce Foundation and American Council of Learned Societies, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, and the College Art Association, among others.
