Camran Mani has multiple roles in the Division of Academic and Public Programs. He directs the Ho Family Student Guide Program, in which Harvard undergraduate students create and lead original, research-based tours of the Harvard Art Museums. He also manages the museums’ U.S. Citizenship Course, a collaboration between the Student Guides and the St. Mark Community Education Program in Dorchester, Massachusetts, which helps aspiring citizens prepare for the naturalization test. He supports course visits to the museums and assists with a broad range of other activities, including program development and administration. His research and teaching interests have focused on modernist art (notably Matisse, Cubism, muralism, and abstraction) and the history of art history.
