- Presenters: Serena Zabin, Associate Professor of History; Ross Elfline, Assistant Professor of Art History; and Jackson Bryce, Marjorie Crabb Garbisch Professor of Classical Languages and the Liberal Arts. How can we use the rich resources of the College's extraordinary art collections in our teaching? This panel highlights the potential for using objects from Gould Library's Special Collections. We will display the College's copies of the first two volumes of Theodor De Bry's Grands Voyages, a multi-volume work that provided the European public with its first visual images of inhabitants of the New World. Our volumes (1590 and 1591) deal with the founding of Virginia and Florida. Colleagues from different departments – Serena Zabin (History), Ross Elfline (Art History), and Jackson Bryce (Classical Languages) – will each examine these magnificent books from the perspective of their discipline and teaching, and together we will discuss this rare book and how materials from Carleton's collections might enhance our courses.
