BE PROUD noteworthy and in the news Nese Devenot, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities, was awarded an international research award by Breaking Convention, the premier psychedelic studies conference and nonprofit educational foundation in Europe, for her chapter, "Aldous Huxley’s New Romanticisms: Reading Blake and Wordsworth After Mescaline." Andrew Gardner, sociology and anthropology, will join Karen Exell (University College - London), Jocelyn Mitchell (Northwestern), and several other researchers on a new project titled "National Museums and the Public Imagination." The research project, funded by the Qatar National Research Fund, will explore the cultural impact of the soon-to-(re)open National Museum of Qatar. A team of five faculty members (Renee Houston, Diane Kelley, Alisa Kessel, Eric Orlin, and Brett Rogers) received a Reacting Endeavor Challenge Grant to attend a "Reacting to the Past" pedagogy conference at University of Georgia in January, with the aim of hosting a Reacting conference at Puget Sound in May.
"Make us work for our trips abroad; arm us with knowledge." Casey O'Brien ’18 published a reflection of her time in Cuba with fellow Puget Sound students earlier this year —and a call to professors everywhere—in University World News.
