Hi Everyone! My name is Dr. Naomi Ruth Pitamber, and I am an Art History professor at Clark University.
I am very excited about bringing my Leir Summer Program Students to Spain and Turkey for our one-month long course entitled ARTH 223S: Medieval Mediterranean Cities, Urban Environments, and Cultural Heritage.
This idea for this class is based on a desire to share the Mediterranean, where I do much of my research and fieldwork, with my students at Clark University, beyond the classroom. I am thrilled that the Leir program has selected this course as one of its new wider European-based study abroad courses, and even more excited to be able to bring my students to places, spaces, and environments from which I have derived so much joy and fulfillment.
I am looking forward to sharing my areas of interest and expertise and to learning new things together on this extraordinary trip.
Outside of work, one of my favorite things to do is to spend time with my standard poodle, Philippa.
