Anna Hudson joined the department of Visual Arts at York University in 2004 as an Assistant Professor in Canadian Art and Curatorial Studies. Formerly, Hudson was the Associate Curator of Canadian Art at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Her research considers the role of historical art in the present as seen across cultural and generational divides.

Hudson’s teaching focuses are: postcolonial art of the Americas including contemporary art of the Arctic; museology and the interrelation of art networks and institutions; the art market and the business of culture; issues of sex and gender in the representation of beauty and social order; and the legacy of humanism in twentieth century Canadian art. She continues to work in the area of her doctoral dissertation, Art and Social Progress: The Toronto Community of Painters, 1933-1950.
