When the Dust Has Settled<\/strong><\/h2>\n(or, When Good Scholars Go Back . . . )<\/h3>\nA Colloquium

\nJohn H. Rassweiler
\nCelia Chazelle<\/h4>\nThe aim<\/h4>\n
What happens when a dedicated specialist returns to a subject of long-term interest after other tasks \u2014 other projects, jobs, administrative tasks, life in general\u00a0\u2014 have cleared away? While the world, methods, tools, and aims of research (let alone publication) have changed dramatically, sometimes beyond recognition, a return to the chosen subject might also draw upon experience and reflection gained through the passage of time, an accumulation of experiences, and extended “immersion” both in the subject matter and its wider contexts. Thus, although daunting, the return need not involve a start completely from square one or ground zero.<\/p>\n
When the dust has settled, and, it may be, the air has cleared, a return might allow for renewal, which could build upon an available, partly remembered, foundation for direction and refinement in this light. Our colloquium offers informal reflections, questions, and discussions about the challenges and potential of returning now to a variety of subjects, in the arts and letters, from Antiquity to Modernity.<\/p>\n
The new exhibition at the Index of Christian Art from the archives of its founder Charles Rufus Morey<\/a> (1877\u20131955), selected by Jessica L. Savage<\/strong>,<\/span> forms a centerpiece for reflections about the gathering of cumulative resources. We celebrate the anniversaries of the Research Group this year (25 years as an international scholarly society and 15 years as a nonprofit educational corporation based in Princeton) and the long-term co-sponsorship for the Research Group’s scholarly meetings by the Index of Christian Art and other departments and programs of Princeton University.<\/p>\nOther events and publications celebrating this anniversary year include a Party in Princeton (in March), a series of Sessions<\/strong><\/a> and a Reception<\/strong><\/a> at the International Congress on Medieval Studies (in May), a Symposium on “Recollections of the Past”<\/strong><\/a> at Princeton University (in May), the launch of a Newsletter ShelfMarks<\/strong><\/a> (in November), and the on-going redesign of the Research Group website (You are Here).<\/p>\n[Photographs \u00a9 Mildred Budny from a document of Berengarius, reproduced by permission.]<\/p>\n
