Faculty/Staff Detail

Jeremiah Donovan, Art and Art History Department, recently co-presented at the National Council for the Education of Ceramic Arts Conference in Kansas City, Mo. The presentation, “The Future of the Past: Revitalizing Ancient Maya Cultural Traditions in Modern Maya Communities,” with Jaime Awe, professor of archaeology at Northern Arizona University, described an ongoing project bringing traditional artisan skills to an inspired group of Maya women in western Belize. In October 2016 members of this cooperative will participate in an NEA Foundation funded exhibition at the Dowd Gallery, featuring their pottery alongside ancient Maya ceramics on loan from Cornell’s H.F. Johnson Museum of Art.
