Prof. Wagoner isProfessor of Art History and Archaeology at Wesleyan University. His research focuses on the cultural history of the Deccan region of South India, primarily late medieval and early modern periods.

Since 2000, his work has focused on Persianate Islamic architecture in the Deccan. Dr. Wagoner has been associated with the Vijayanagara Research Project since 1987, which has led to two published books; he also published many articles on various topics relating to Vijayanagara. Dr. Wagoner received his BA from Kenyon College and his PHD from the University of Wisconsin. His most recent book is Power, Memory, Architecture: Contested Sites on India’s Deccan Plateau, 1300-1600 (with Richard M. Eaton; 2014), which won the American Historical Association’s John F. Richards Prize and the Association for Asian Studies’ Ananda K. Coomaraswamy Prize.
