SEEING ABANDONED BUILDINGS THROUGH A NEW LENS Artist Julia Christensen peers through the ceiling of an abandoned auditorium in Gary, Indiana. We often take the buildings around us for granted - that is, until those factories, schools, or big retailers close shop and people around town are left wondering - what's going to happen to that place? One photographer's making a career out of documenting the surprising ways people deal with this.

For his commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching, Erik Inglis, Associate Professor in Art History has just received Oberlin College's Distinguished Teaching Excellence Award. Erik Inglis brings a compelling blend of energy and creativity to his classroom. Both his students and his colleagues describe his teaching as inspiring, passionate, and engaging. His introductory course, “Approaches to Western Art History,” leads many students to become art history majors. Always thoughtful and challenging, Inglis is very creative in developing a variety of assignments structured to ensure a high degree of student learning, including debate papers and imaginative fictional essays as well as more traditional research papers. In his upper level courses, he blends his own scholarly research, using specific topics addressed as springboards for discussion of methodologies—from iconography to social art history to queer studies. Inglis’ ability to bring such synergy to his courses creates an intellectually exciting atmosphere for learning in his classes. Please join me in congratulating Erik on his wonderful achievement.
