Â鶹ÊÓƵ history PhD candidate Jayme Kurland is living her dream this academic year as the Jane and Morgan Whitney Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

George Â鶹ÊÓƵ psychology professor Thalia R. Goldstein’s work focuses on children's developing social and emotional skills, and how such skills intersect with imaginative activities. In her latest book, Why Theatre Education Matters: Understanding its Cognitive, Social, and Emotional Benefits (Teachers College Press, 2024), she pulls together the research she’s conducted on social and emotional learning and cognitive development.

How likely are humans to trust a robot, especially if that robot has the capacity to lie? This is the question Â鶹ÊÓƵ psychology doctoral candidate Andres Rosero is exploring in his research on human-robot interaction.

Faced with the challenge of finding affordable clothes for teaching internships, the EDSE Council developed a new resource: a teacher clothing closet for any student who needs it.

The intersection of art and technology has long been a space for innovation, creativity, and exploration. At George Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Â鶹ÊÓƵ Autonomy and Robotics Center (MARC) located within the College of Engineering and Computing, this connection has taken center stage with the Integrating Art and Tech Project.

During the fall 2024 semester, Â鶹ÊÓƵ students had the opportunity to apply their classroom curriculum to a real-world museum environment. The students, led by art history professor Robert DeCaroli, worked directly with objects in the holdings of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Asian Art as part of the ARTH 495/595 Curating an Exhibit course.
