Pitt-Bradford Faculty Members
Publish Book Chapter, Make Presentation
A pair of University of Pittsburgh at Bradford faculty members published or presented at conferences during the Fall Semester.
Dr. Kevin Ewert, associate professor of theater, had a chapter published in “Shakespeare Closely Read: Written and Performance Texts,” edited by Frank Occhiogrosso.
The chapter, “Close Enough Reading? Or, Trying to Ascribe the Actor’s Part in Analyzing Performance Texts,” originated as a paper for the 2008 International Shakespeare Conference in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
The paper steps back from examining only the effect of an actor’s performance to understanding its origins and the choices made along the way, and suggests ways that the actor's specific contribution to the whole can be researched and studied by those not involved in rehearsals or the run of a production.
Dr. Donna Dombek, associate professor of education, made a poster presentation at the 40th annual Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Teacher Educators’ Teacher Education Assembly in Harrisburg.
She presented the results of research in which she identified 14 essential components of teacher education, then asked a group of education alumni and cooperating teachers who hosted student teachers to rate the level of importance of each component and their preparedness on each. Results showed that the alumni agreed with the importance of the components, which will be used to improve the education program.
