Faculty News: Dr. Alexandra Carpino co-organized the workshop “Etruscology in America” for the Archaeological Institute of America in January 2023

Posted by Rebekah Pratt-Sturges on January 27, 2023

Professor of Art History Dr. Alexandra Carpino recently organized the workshop Etruscology in America with Bridget Sandhoff (University of Nebraska Omaha) for the 23rd Annual Meeting for the Archaeological Institute of America in January 2023.  The workshop focused on Etruscology in American classrooms and field schools with the goal to provide a forum for exchange regarding the opportunities, challenges, and successes experienced by scholars whose teaching responsibilities frequently span multiple disciplines. Each panelist presented a case study that demonstrated how they are advancing the field of Etruscan Studies and making it accessible to students from different backgrounds, ages and identities. The event featured Etruscan experts Francesco de Angelis (Columbia University), Lisa Pieraccini (University of California Berkeley), Maurizio Forte (Duke University), Anthony Tuck (University of Massachusetts Amherst), P. Gregory Warden (Franklin University Switzerland), Laurel Taylor (University of North Carolina Asheville), Bice Peruzzi (Rutgers University), Keely Heuer (SUNY New Paltz), Sophia Vanna (Rutgers University) and Brooke Cammann (SUNY New Paltz).

Over 50 people attended and the response from participants was very positive and included comments such as “I wanted to thank you both for the fantastic panel. I had a wonderful time and I feel like a learned a lot. I wanted to thank you also for making space for Sophia. She told me afterwards that it was great to see professors who cared so much about teaching,” (Bice Peruzzi) and “Thank you Alexandra and Bridget for organizing this important panel – it was wonderful (I learned so much!). Hoping we can continue in this vein and create curricula/workshops which are informative, exciting, accessible and forward thinking” (Lisa Pieraccini).
