Risd 50-year-old european honors program ihp


















Some decisions in life are permanent and scary but never produce any regrets or doubts once they are made. The choice to get my ears pierced was like this, and so was enrolling in the European Honors Program. The highlight of my EHP experience was probably the freedom and independence I had to explore on my own, and I was so fortunate to live in the Cenci, in the heart of Rome My semester in EHP has changed the trajectory of my entire life, honestly.

I feel very open to new opportunities in the art world that I wouldn't have considered before EHP, like museum and gallery curation and Art direction. EHP Fall 18 final exhibition. Photo: Mariagrazia Moncada.

We could show how the popular arts — the flicks and funnies — derived their power from myth and saga, soliloquy and sermon.

Copies of those survey tomes which I recently installed on the shelves of the faculty lounge in the old RISD library bear the signatures of teachers who used them. Gwendolyn Bowers , who gave me a Victorian print of a fine lady with a plumed bonnet, bustle, parasol and pet, also bequeathed her books to the department library.

Perhaps the most influential among the Americans was Thoreau, for its regionalism, its resistance, its concrete and yet spiritual diction. Find your voice and place.

Discover with your own hands. The fact that his family had made pencils from nearby graphite mines added some irony to the mix.

My wand as department chief was handed to Phil Bailey. In spite of his leadership and hospitality, his own contract was not renewed and he retired to his home in Maine.

A yearbook was dedicated to his RISD career, saluting his combination of scholarly and playful endeavors. It seemed that our single block told in brick and stone the story of the nation — nay, the progress of humanity. Tom Chandler taught poetry and published his own poems.

I especially remember the portrait of a pair of shoes worn by an immigrant relation who had walked across Europe and then settled nearby and made shoes in a factory. His reading seemed to sum up the human condition, there before the audience at the Ewing Center.

Poetry at RISD is not the venting of opinion or the vaunting of erudition, but an art form at an academy of art. Chandler later became the poet laureate of Rhode Island, and still publishes and praises the poetry of others in the Providence Journal. Wintersession afforded for many of us the opportunity to go beyond the Thoreauvian. We could take our disciples to places in which we had studied, found fellow writers, pursued research. Our alumni magazine, now under the editorship of Liisa Silander , has reported on many of these sojourns.

In my first stint as department head, I hired Catharine Seigel and was impressed not only by her thesis on Conrad Aiken but also by her interest in Ireland. She built courses in poetry and theatre, the political history of Ireland and a nostalgia for the American culture of the s, the beat poets and playwrights with their love of the road itself — like the tinkers of Eire. When she retired, she passed on the syllabus of her course on the literature of the Bible.

She was with us for only a spell, but she initiated an issue in theory and curriculum long overdue. Nicole Merolla has created course on environmental letters, also a great contribution to the breadth and scope of the department. I was on the search committee for Susan Vander Closter and was especially interested in her work on Vladimir Nabokov, whose writings were so jeweled, so foreign, so elegant. Our students sometimes seek too directly to get to the point — the bottom — of ideas.

It seemed promising to discover and encourage an interest in the form, the turn of phrase, a layer, a privacy of perception, even eccentricity for its own sake. Some who came and went left imprints upon the mosaic of the pathway from past to present. Others have remained and established permanent electives. Who teaches EHP courses?
