Kaleena Sales is an Associate Professor of Graphic Design, and Chair of the Department of Art & Design. Her research focuses on the intersection of Black culture and aesthetics and investigates the ways in which identities and experiences impact design styles. As a member of the AIGA Design Educators Community Steering Committee, Kaleena has advocated for a more inclusive view of design history through her Beyond the Bauhaus series, where she shares stories of those historically underrepresented in design. Kaleena also serves as Director of Diversity and Inclusion for AIGA Nashville, and is co-author, alongside Ellen Lupton, of the 2021 book, Extra Bold: A Feminist, Inclusive, Anti-Racist, Non-Binary Field Guild for Graphic Designers (published by Princeton Architectural Press).
