Steve J. Goldberg, an associate professor of art at Hamilton College, who specializes in the history of Chinese art, was approved for tenure at a recent meeting of the college's board of trustees.

Goldberg came to Hamilton in 1998 from the University of Hawaii, where he was an associate professor of Chinese art history. He was a visiting professor of Chinese art history at Stanford University in 1984, and previously was assistant professor of east Asian art history at the University of Denver from 1980 to 1985.

Goldberg is currently writing a book, The Inscriptive Subject: Tradition and the Construction of Identity in Chinese Painting and Calligraphy. He received a grant to support the funding of photographic illustrations for the book from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He has written on "Chinese Aesthetics" in A Companion to World Philosophies, Blackwell Companions to Philosophy (1997); wrote on Chinese Calligraphy, a series of articles on the history and theory of Chinese calligraphy in The Dictionary of Art (1996); and has published numerous other book reviews and articles on the topic.

This spring Goldberg interviewed the London-based Chinese painter Wan Jia'nan for an essay in Kaikodo Journal that accompanied an exhibition of his work in April, and was a discussant for a panel held at the Association of Asian studies annual meeting in Boston in March.

He received a grant to establish an art mentoring program for University of Hawaii art students to work with students at risk in 1995; a National Endowment for the Humanities Grant to participate in a summer institute on "Theory and Interpretation of the Visual Arts" in 1989; and fellowships from the Peking-American School, The University of Michigan and East-West Center.

Goldberg earned a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, a master's degree from the University of Hawaii and a bachelor's degree from Brooklyn College of the City.

He has lectured extensively in Chinese, Japanese and Asian art and has studied and conducted research in China and Japan. He is a member of the Association of Asian Studies and the College Art Association.

Goldberg and his wife, Susan, have a son, Ariel, and reside in Clinton.
