Fall is shaping up to be a busy season of interesting lectures on Campus and thought-provoking conferences around the world. Dr. Stiefel recently returned from Montreal, where he presented a paper, entitled “What else came with the Chattel?: African and Indian Imports to the American South Prior to 1808” for a conference on Trade in Animals and Animal Products in the Indian Ocean World.

This week, Professors Muldrow and Stiefel will attend the National Trust for Historic Preservation Conference in Savannah, Georgia.

Program Chair Grant Gilmore is heading to Florence, Italy this December for a UNESCO HERITY conference focused on world heritage, site interpretation, and archaeology.
Here is a great photograph from the Duomo in Florence, taken by Dr. Gilmore:
