ogy at the College that will be available
to majors in several fields, including art,
environmental studies, and history.

and a 1983 magna cum laude graduate
in economics from Duke University,

history in 1988 from the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he
thesis was entitled “Perspective in
Minoan Pictorial Art.” She studied at
the American School of Classical Stud
ies in Athens,Greece, in 1990, and re
ceived her Ph.D. degree in art history at
the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill in 1995, where her disserta
tion was entitled “Landscape and Space
in Aegean Bronze Age Art.” She has
received research and travel grants from
the Kress Foundation, the Institute for
