This year has been transitional for Barbara Watkinson. She
rejoined Art and Art History in 2005 after several years in academic
administration and agreed to be department chair. Four new
faculty members have joined the department during that time, including
a new endowed position: The Jane Williams Mahoney Professorship in Art
History. The desire to teach was, however, the reason for leaving
administration but as department chair she has been limited to only one
course a semester. Watkinson, nonetheless, taught the intro
course—cave paintings through the Middle Ages—in Andrews
101 during the fall semester. She has two chapters to complete on
Pro Anima Sua: The Transformation of the Angevin Landscape in the Eleventh Century.
