This past September, Christina Marinelli became Education Programs Associate in the Academic Programs division of the Education Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Principally, Christina is responsible for the workings of the Met’s fellowship office – working with the various curatorial and conservation departments to host fellows and visiting scholars, and organizing professional development workshops, research roundtables, and an annual colloquia in which the fellows present their work. Additionally, she coordinates a staff exchange program between the Met and the State Museums in Berlin.
In her new role, Christina particularly enjoys the opportunity to teach in the galleries to a variety of age groups (from grammar school through college students and adults) and to facilitate gallery programming.
Christina received her MA in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology in 2013. Her thesis, “The Rites of Artemis Brauronia: A Reconsideration,” sought to reevaluate the material finds from Brauron alongside the textual traditions to arrive at a more holistic understanding of how the site was used.
Congratulations, Christina!

Professor Dale Kinney to serve as acting director of the Graduate Group

Dale Kinney sm

For the 2014-2015 academic year, former dean of the GSAS and Professor Emerita Dale Kinney will serve as acting director of the Graduate Group. The Group is thrilled to see Professor Kinney in this role, since it was her idea to found the Graduate Group in the first place. Professor Kinney believed that Bryn Mawr’s relatively small size would enable the College to create and foster multi-disciplinary conversations. We look forward to a year of further growth and exciting new opportunities for interdisciplinary scholarship under her leadership.

The dean, faculty, and students would also like to thank Professor Conybeare for her eight years of service to the Graduate Group. Among the numerous achievements of her outstanding tenure, Professor Conybeare’s organization of the 10-year Anniversary celebration this past April shall stand as testament to her enthusiasm for the Graduate Group and her ambitious vision for its continued success.
