Dr. Charles M. Adelman Professor of Art History Charles Adelman teaches a wide range of art history courses in the UNI Department of Art. An archaeologist as well as an art historian, he has worked on archaeological digs in Cyprus, Iran, Israel, and even New York City. In his experience, the fictional escapades of Indiana Jones are rather tame in comparison to the adventures of real excavations. He enjoys sharing his archaeological tales with students in all of his courses. His areas of specialization include ancient art from Egypt, the Ancient Near East, the Aegean, Greece and Rome. His current interests are concerned with the investigation of story telling and narrative in art. Charles Adelman— “I believe that not until students can fully understand the relationship between words and images can they begin to understand the design process and create new concepts.” Professor Adelman has earned two doctoral degrees, one from the University of Chicago and a second from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. In addition to teaching at the University of Northern Iowa, he has been a Guest Scholar at Uppsala University, and has taught at Brooklyn College of CUNY. He has received a number of major awards, among them two Fulbright Fellowships to Sweden, and fellowships from the American Philosophical Society, the Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Kress Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Most recently, he was designated a Carver Fellow for the 2006-2007 academic year. Among his publications are numerous articles and reviews on Cypriote topics, and two scholarly books (see covers at left): Swedish Excavations at Sinda, Cyprus: Excavations conducted by Arne Furumark 1947-1948 with Arne Furumark; and Cypro-Geometric Pottery: Refinements in Classification, Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology. contact <Charles.Adelman@uni.edu> • • • mailto:Charles.Adelman@uni.edushapeimage_1_link_0
