Dowling College Professor Receives National Recognition
Elissa Tatigikis Iberti, Associate Professor of Visual Arts at Dowling College, has been selected from a national applicant pool to attend one of twenty-two summer study opportunities supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Endowment is a federal agency that each summer supports seminars and institutes at colleges and universities so that educators can work in collaboration and study with experts in humanities disciplines.
Tatigikis Iberti will participate in an Institute entitled "Visual Resources in Teaching and Research in Early East Slavic Cultures." The one-week program will be held at the New York Public Library (NYPL), Slavic and Baltic Division, and be directed by Edward Kasinec, Curator of the NYPL's Slavic and Baltic Division, and Valerie A. Kivelson, Professor of History at the University of Michigan.
Professor Iberti plans to work alongside distinguished faculty and experts in the field as she explores visual materials as primary research resources, specifically popular prints, viewing rare materials outside the mainstream and bringing new perspectives to her work and to her students when she returns from sabbatical in the Fall 2006.
Educators selected to participate in the program each receive a stipend to cover their travel, study and living expenses.
