Collaborative Research (continued)
Skidmore students and their professors have worked together
on numerous research projects. This kind of high-level scholarship
does more than enhances a student's understanding in a given
disipline; the practical, hands-on experience and "real-world"
accomplishment also instill a sense of confidence that will
benefit a graduate in any career. Projects from recent years
appear below, arranged by academic area.
Interdisciplinary
Project: Research and Web Site for the Tang Exhibit A Very
Liquid Heaven Participants: Mary Crone Odekon, Associate Professor of
Physics, and Stephanie Waite ’06 Plan: This project will create a detailed informational Web site
for the Tang exhibit A Very Liquid Heaven, which opens October 2004.
As part of the exhibit, a small cluster of computers will be set up
within the Wachenhein gallery. The presence of the computers will
contribute esthetically and conceptually to the exhibit's
technological theme, and will also allow visitors to explore the ideas
and objects in the show more deeply. The site will be accessible
remotely, to assist faculty in incorporating the exhibit into classes,
and to enhance the visibility of the exhibit off campus. The research
that goes into preparing for the site will also contribute greatly to
wall text and catalog essays.
Creative Thought Matters.
