Josephine Halvorson is Professor of Art and Chair of the MFA Program in Painting at Boston University’s College of Fine Arts. She teaches seminars and participates in critiques of students’ work. As Chair, she organizes and coordinates the program schedule, leads orientation and admissions, and advises students on their course of study. In 2022, she delivered the annual University Lecture.

In 2016, Halvorson founded and continues to co-administer the Tuesday Night Lecture Series, a free and public lecture series run by the MFA programs in Painting, Sculpture, Graphic Design, Visual Narrative, and Print Media and Photography.
