Meet James Denison
According to his K-College bio, James is a Washington D.C. area native. After graduating from Bowdoin College, Denison achieved his PhD in art history from the University of Michigan.
His overarching professional goal is to research, think, write, teach about and publicize new understandings of the relationships between art/visual culture, artists, and the art world and systems of identity and power formation in U.S. society.
Locally, you can catch James' Jeopardy! appearance on CBS affiliate WWMT News Channel 3 at 7:30 p.m., or you can watch live TV with the Paramount+ app if your cable provider offers the option. New episodes are also available for next-day streaming on Peacock and Disney+.
I think locally we need to set up a watch party for James too! Shakespeare's, anyone?
