PCA Terra Research Program Announces Call for Applicants. Deadline September 29, 2024.
The group of selected students will have the opportunity to work as a team and conduct research on a specific topic related to American art and design. They will have free access to the Terra Library Collection and will follow a one-session training with a librarian who will present the collection and the research facilities available at the Terra Foundation. They will then conduct their research independently and under the supervision of the Liberal Studies & Art History Chair and present their findings in English to an audience of art history students from Université Paris Nanterre. Students will also actively collaborate with peers from Université Paris Nanterre through workshops and studio visits.
The PCA/Terra Research Program is suited for all students interested in the history of art & design. It is an opportunity to work closely with the Terra Library’s wonderful collection of books, have a first major experience within the academic research world, and improve one’s research, writing and presentation skills. The monthly workshops and the final presentation will also be occasions to meet peers from French universities and to compare research methodologies in an international and interdisciplinary context.
Through this research program students earn 1 credit in Liberal Studies. Both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to apply!
Fall schedule: October through December 2024
