Welcome to the Department of Arts & Humanities
Talking Chairs
Published: Tuesday, December 23, 2008
In videotaped interviews conducted this past fall and summer, four TC department chairs talk about the work of their faculty, trends in their academic fields of discipline and their own research.
The interviews are posted along with this article and some snippets follow here. More interviews of department chairs will be posted in the future.
Margaret Crocco, Chair of the Department of Arts and Humanities, says her department, the largest at TC, poses and tries to answer the fundamental questions surrounding education: “Why do we educate, and what are the earmarks of the educated person?” Crocco, who assumed chairmanship of the department last summer, says she would like to use technology to enhance the department’s work and visibility.
