Wake Foresters present at conference

Steve Whittington

Museum of Anthropology educator Tina Smith, Education chair Mary Lynn Redmond and MOA director Stephen Whittington presented “Linking Cultures and Languages through Visual Learning” at the Visual Learning: Transforming the Liberal Arts conference held at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn.

The presentation focused on the value of the MOA’s databases for teaching a variety of subjects, from K-12 social studies to undergraduate foreign languages.

Visual Learning: Transforming the Liberal Arts offered visionary lectures and speculative conversations, as well as hands-on sessions highlighting successful assignments, faculty-staff partnerships, exhibitions, and performances. Stretching over two days, the conference — held in the Weitz Center for Creativity, Carleton’s new center for interdisciplinary arts collaboration — addressed topics ranging from the theoretical to the practical.
