Susanna Caroselli, professor emerita of art history, was invited to contribute a chapter to the book, “Jews in Medieval England: Teaching Representations of the Other,” edited by Miriamne Ara Krummel and Tison Pugh (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017). The book has just been awarded the 2019 Teaching Literature Book Award, an international prize presented biennially by Idaho State University. The committee cited the “range of creative approaches” that have “much to offer teachers of multicultural literature and religious studies who want to explore the historical roots of prejudice with their students.”

Friends of Murray Library 2019 annual dinner and meeting

Join us Friday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. in Martin Commons for the Friends of Murray Library annual dinner and meeting. Kathy T. Hettinga will return to Messiah College to share her work and discuss the process of artist’s books. In her presentation, “Creating Artist’s Books from Object to Identity,” Hettinga will discuss the concepts behind her work and the projects she designed for her students.Drawing from her comprehensive background in drawing/illustration, book arts/typography, photography/scanning, collage and printmaking, Professor Hettinga led and pushed students to excellence in art and design, resulting in their work being published over a dozen times in international design journals. The Kathy T. Hettinga Student Artists’ Book Archive at Murray Library was created from the extensive student book art created under her direction. These works reveal the remarkable depths of meaning and beauty created by her students in response to Hettinga’s guidance and direction.

The event will be held in Martin Commons, with a meal served by Messiah’s Two Bridges Catering. Reservation deadline is Oct.  4. If interested, please contact Tracy Sheaffer, library administrative assistant, at tsheaffer@messiah.edu or ext. 7181.
