- Zsuzsanna Gulacsi,\u00a0<\/strong>associate professor of art history and Asian\u00a0studies, has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship<\/a> and a residency at the National Humanities Center for the 2016-17 academic year for her sabbatical project “Artistic Culture of Religious Instruction along the Trade Routes of Late Ancient and Medieval Asia.” The fellowship will enable Gulacsi to launch a comparative project on the didactic application of art in both multi-ethnic missionary religions and ethnically based non-missionary religions that co-existed historically in multi-cultural locales along the Silk Routes in Mesopotamia, West Central Asia, Ghandhara, Northwest India, East Central Asia and southern China. In four thematically and geo-culturally defined case studies,\u00a0Gulacsi’s\u00a0study will utilize visual, textual and archeological sources to reveal the development and exchanges of artistic forms, techniques of teaching and religious practices designed for doctrinal instruction. This year’s\u00a0175 fellows were selected from 3,000 applicants.
