Fine Arts Professor Honored with Fulbright Fellowship

Allyson Vieira, assistant professor of foundations, received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award to teach and conduct research in Greece for the 2024-2025 academic year. Vieira, director of undergraduate studies for fine arts, will be conducting artistic and pedagogical research on traditional marble-carving by hand through the Professional and Preparatory School of Fine Arts in Panormous, Tinos. "This will build on and add a crucial embodied, experiential, physical component to the oral history research I conducted in On the Rock: The Acropolis Interviews, and enable me to expand my artistic material vocabulary to include stone-craft," Vieira said.
