Recent Faculty/Staff News:  Professor Emeritus of Music Jack Heller was invited to present a paper about his research on music and speech development at the Eighth International Conference of the Research Alliance in Music Education (RAIME) held recently at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami. |
 An essay by Associate Professor Elisabeth Fraser (Art History), “Of books, prints, travel, and expansionism: Reading in the gaps of the orientalist archive,” has been accepted for publication in the major international journal Art History. A critical examination of postcolonial theory, Fraser’s essay looks at the thriving European publishing industry dealing in illustrated travel accounts of the Islamic Mediterranean. She argues that the multifarious nature of these books – juggling word and image and coordinating the work of a large number of writers, researchers, artists, and printers – provides a radically alternative model for interpreting travel representation in the age of expansion. In peer review Fraser’s essay was termed “a fine contribution to book history, art history, and the study of imperialism.” |
 The USF Percussion Ensemble, directed by USF Professor Robert McCormick, recently gave an invited performance for the Annual Convention of the Florida Music Educators on January 10th in Tampa. Featured on the program was the Flute Concerto with Four Percussionists by USF visiting professor Chihchun Chi-sun Lee. The work was performed by USF flute professor Kim McCormick. |
 Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing Elisabeth Condon has been awarded a $5,000 2008 State of Florida Individual Artist Fellowship, the state’s most prestigious studio art award. |

 Over the past few years the “Did You Know…” emails have kept the faculty and staff of the College of Visual and Performing Arts and others aware of the accomplishments of faculty, staff, students and alumni of CVPA. This provides not only a daily dose of the good things going on in the college but also material for the various newsletters that the college produces. Recently, in fact, President Genshaft requested that her office receive the daily “Did You Know…” emails. The “Did You Know…” email is generated by CVPA faculty and staff who send noteworthy news regarding faculty, staff, student and alumni activities to the director of each unit. The director passes on the noteworthy “Did You Know…” email to the Dean’s office where it is formatted and distributed. CVPA contributes to the arts and culture at USF as well as the local and state communities, the nation and the world. Let’s be sure to keep everyone aware of our accomplishments! |
