Faculty and Staff Awards
and Honors
Pablo Delano, associate professor of fine arts,
has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Connecticut
Historical Society Museum and Old State House. This spring, the CHS
Museum will launch a major multimedia, interactive exhibit at the
Old State House. The History Is All Around Us exhibit will
showcase the many ways in which history surrounds area residents and
informs their daily lives.
Fred Errington,
distinguished professor of anthropology, has been selected to
receive the prestigious 2004-2005 American Council of Learned
Societies fellowship for postdoctoral research in the humanities and
humanities-related social sciences. Errington will conduct a study
of the trade in fatty meats from New Zealand and Australia to Papua
New Guinea, where they are consumed, and Fiji, where they have been
banned. The trade is controversial because of concerns about the
health issues of the islanders.
Peter Knapp ’65,
special collections librarian and College archivist, has been
appointed to the State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) by
Governor M. Jodi Rell. In addition to advising the state archives
and other statewide archival, records, and information agencies,
SHRAB works to promote an understanding of the role and value of
historical records.

professor of anthropology, has been appointed to the board of
trustees of the Hartford Botanical Garden. Though currently in the
development stage, work on the 18.5 acre Hartford Botanical Garden
site—located in the westernmost portion of Hartford’s Colt Park—is
slated to begin in 2006. Nadel-Klein notes that the project will
include the rehabilitation of several significant buildings on the
site, and will entertain and educate Greater Hartford residents
while helping to re-establish Hartford’s rich and horticultural
legacy.
Beth Notar,
assistant professor of anthropology, has been elected to the
executive board of the Society for Economic Anthropology, an
