Representative: Adrea Jaehnig, Director of Admissions Bard Graduate Center, New York, NY The Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture is a graduate research institute committed to studying the cultural history of the material world. Our degree program, research projects, and exhibition program together work to suggest a new field of questions at the crossroads where the decorative arts, design history, and material culture studies meet. At the BGC, our focus is on Cultura. This ancient Latin word referred to the class of activities in which human beings acted on, and so transformed, their natural surroundings. We have taken this as the outline of our institutional project: studying the substances intervened upon, the processes used to make these interventions, and the consequences of these interventions for the lives of human actors. http://www.bgc.bard.edu Representative: Elena Pinto Simon, Dean of Academic Administration & Student Affairs Boston College, Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, Chestnut Hill, MA Founded in 1863, Boston College is a Jesuit, Catholic University with nearly 15,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students, 680 full-time faculty members dedicated to the highest levels of teaching and research, and over 152,000 active alumni.
