Dr. Erin Devine, Asst. Professor of Art History, received a Longwood University Faculty Research Grant for summer 2011 to attend a one-week workshop at Anderson Ranch in Colorado. The workshop, Personal Geographies, utilized new media as a tool for exploring personal narrative. Under workshop instructor Jonathan Harris, a renowned artist and computer science visionary, participants explored the relations between technology, visual art, anthropology, and storytelling. Devine hopes to share workshop concepts with students in projects that similarly look at technology, narrative, and human relationships.
