Professor Finola O'Kane appointed as a Senior Fellow at Dumbarton Oaks for Garden and Landscape Studies
Friday, 30 August, 2024
Congratulations to UCD's School of Architecture, Planning & Environmental Policy's Professor (opens in a new window)Finola O'Kane who has been appointed as a (opens in a new window)Senior Fellow at Dumbarton Oaks for Garden and Landscape Studies.
The fellowship program in Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks seeks a balance between historical research and investigations of current practice, between inquiries at the scale of the garden and those addressing larger landscapes.
The program invites consideration of all aspects of this interdisciplinary and international field: agricultural, architectural, art historical, botanical, cultural, ecological, economic, geographical, horticultural, social, and technological. Fellows are encouraged to consider topics from a variety of perspectives, including design, patronage, iconography, ideology, reception, preservation, landscape performance, and user experience; and using methods from other relevant fields of the humanities (art and architectural history and criticism, literary studies, philosophy) and of the social sciences (social history, cultural geography, cultural studies, social anthropology). Complementing a traditional focus on garden history, the program invites research into the histories of landscape architecture and culturally-significant landscapes of all kinds.
(opens in a new window)Dumbarton Oaks is a Harvard University research institute, library, museum, and garden located in Washington, DC. It welcomes researchers at all career stages who come to study its books, objects, images, and documents. It opens its doors to the public to visit its historic garden, designed by Beatrix Farrand; its museum, with world-class collections of art; and its Music Room, for lectures and concerts. The institute disseminates knowledge through its publications and online resources. Innovative programming has introduced students of all ages to the museum, garden, and collections.
