Raphael received his Ph.D. in art history with highest honors from the University of Chicago in 1995. He writes, teaches, and lectures on a variety of art historical and critical subjects. He has a particular interest in architectural history and historic preservation issues, as well as regional history and its intersection with the visual arts.

While on sabbatical this past year, he published the article titled "Miraculous Survival: the Art of Glacier National Park" in the summer edition of Montana: The Magazine of Western History, just in time for the park's centennial.

On his previous sabbatical, Rafael and his partner hiked the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, from the French Pyrenees to northwest Spain. This spring, they hiked the Via Podiensis, the ancient route from Le Puy-en-Velay in central France to the Pyrenees.
