Julian is a PhD Candidate in the History of Science and a Fellow in the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities at Princeton University.
His dissertation project traces the emergence of art-making as a form of psychological therapy across the 20th century, studying the entwinement of psycho-scientific and artistic practices in experiments that have used artistic expression as an inlet into the psyche.
Continuities between knowledge production and artistic production are similarly operative in his practice-based work, in which he stages exhibitions to convey social-historical research to broad audiences—hybridizing archival, ethnographic, oral history, artistic and curatorial methodologies.
He was previously a Fulbright Researcher in Bulgaria, a Fellow at the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton, and a Visiting Researcher at the American Research Center in Sofia. Prior to that, he received a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies from American University.
