NAME:<\/strong> Gabi Doiron<\/p>\n

PROGRAM:<\/strong> Combined Honours in Humanities and Art History, fourth year<\/p>\n

FIELD OF RESEARCH:<\/strong> Art History<\/p>\n

1. What have you been doing with your I-CUREUS research?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Michael Windover (my supervisor) \u00a0is currently working on research for a prospective exhibition on material and visual culture surrounding radio and interwar radio culture in Canada entitled Seeing, Selling and Situating Radio in Canada, 1922-1956<\/em>. The project is highly collaborative, including work with Professor Anne MacLennan at York University. My role has been researching exhibition theory and design and considering education strategies for the exhibition.<\/p>\n

2. Why did you choose to do I-CUREUS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was eager to do research work outside of my classes and was thrilled to find out about I-CUREUS. I am exploring my professional goals and this seemed like a great opportunity to gain personal and professional development while becoming familiar with some of my career options.<\/p>\n

3. How is it related to your course work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first met Professor Michael Windover last year in his class on Art Deco and interwar modernity and design and culture. In the class, he talked a lot about how objects speak and this was my first forray into material culture studies. The work I am doing for I-CUREUS is a continuation of some of the coursework I did for Professor Windover. Beyond Art History, I have interests in museum and art education. Overall, I-CUREUS has allowed me to bridge theoretical curriculum with practical skills. Also, with my background in humanities, I am pretty comfortable with theory so this connects well with my knowledge.<\/p>\n

4. What is the most valuable skill you have gained from the experience thus far?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My research skills have improved a lot. This role has meant I have made use of inter-library loans more than I ever had before. I have also become much more efficient at distilling the theses of texts. Due to the nature of my research, I am becoming very familiar with current debates concerning exhibition theory and how visitors learn within exhibitions–all of which would prove very useful for graduate studies and a career in museum or art education.<\/p>\n

5. What would you tell people considering participating in this opportunity?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it is a really unique opportunity to see what professors and academic professionals are doing outside of course work. You get to see first-hand what a career in academia involves. It is also a great confidence-building experience to work alongside academic professionals. I have found it a highly collaborative process; my supervisor has been very flexible and open to accommodating my research interests.\u00a0In this way, I have found that I-CUREUS provides students with an invaluable learning experience, as well as the opportunity to develop personally, professionally, and academically guided by academic professionals. I would highly recommend the experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
