Together with Sarah McElroy Mitchell, the new curator of Religious Collections at the Lilly Library, Constance Furey has secured an Instructional Development Grant from the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning for this semester’s Introduction to Christianity course. The grant supports a multi-step project that guides students to develop research questions of their own through hands-on exploration of medieval manuscripts, and to present their findings in the form of two different exhibit labels: one written with a university audience in mind, and the other written to appeal to middle-school visitors. Student visits to the Lilly began this week (together with field trips to the Eskenazi Art Museum) and students report being fascinated by what they’ve seen!
