Frankel is undertaking two projects. The first is working with papermaker Mina Takahashi at her paper studio in Delhi to create new works of handmade paper. “I really want to develop a few projects I’ve had in mind,” she said.
Additionally, she will work on curating an exhibition of regional artists who tell stories through textiles. “It’s a different way to stay engaged in art making, where I’m putting together a collection that I’m not making,” she said. “I’ll be learning how to research artists and put together a theme for the exhibit.”
Cochran, who also serves as the director of the writing competency program and Writing Center, will use his research to work on an article about Writing Center anniversaries. “We tend to think of writing centers where students go to get tutored, write and proof their paper, then turn it in and never think about it again,” he said. “But this project will show that writing centers are communal spaces that connect students, tutors and administrations.”
Hartwick’s Writing Center was founded in 1978 and was recently honored at True Blue for its 45th anniversary. “A lot of writing centers, like ours, were founded in the 70s and 80s,” he said.
