The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts
Winston-Salem, NC
The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts is accepting applications from
graduate students, decorative arts professionals, and independent scholars
for the 34th MESDA Summer Institute. The 2010 Summer Institute explores the
material culture of the Chesapeake Bay region, including the piedmont and
tidewater regions of Maryland, Virginia, and northeastern North Carolina.
The University of Virginia visiting scholar for the 2010 Summer Institute is
Dr. Gretchen Buggeln. Dr. Buggeln is Associate Professor, Humanities and
American Studies, Director of American Studies, and Phyllis and Richard
Duesenberg Professor of Christianity and the Arts at Christ College,
Valparaiso University. Dr. Buggeln earned her BA in history from Dartmouth
College, her MA from the University of Delaware, and the PhD in American
Studies from Yale University. Before coming to Valparaiso she taught at the
Winterthur Museum/University of Delaware MA Program in Early American
Culture and at Miami University of Ohio.
In addition to Dr. Buggeln, guest lecturers include leading scholars in
American material culture and Chesapeake history. The program's month-long
curriculum includes lectures, discussions, workshops, artifact studies,
research projects, and study trips to private and public collections.
The MESDA Summer Institute is a partnership between the Museum of Early
Southern Decorative Arts and the University of Virginia's Graduate Program
in the History of Art and Architecture. Students receive three hours of
graduate credit through the University of Virginia.
Financial aid is available to qualified graduate students and museum
professionals.
Applications are due April 20, 2010.
