The University of New Mexico and SRI Foundation
Summer Institute in Cultural Resource Management
June 7 to August 7, 2010

After a week-long break, students begin their six-week internship. Students will be placed in a federal, state, local or tribal government agency, a private-sector consulting firm, or a historic preservation organization in order to gain specific training and work experience. Placement of interns will take into consideration students’ career goals and, where possible, geographical preferences.
 
The learning outcomes for each student’s internship will be developed in consultation among the Summer Institute instructors, the student, and the firm or agency sponsoring the internship. These outcomes will be clearly specified in a written agreement signed by all three parties. The student also will be required to keep a daily journal of the internship experiences and to report weekly to the SRI Foundation instructor designated as the Internship Supervisor.
 
The Summer Institute in Cultural Resource Management is a 9-credit hour course. Tuition and course fees are $2,713 for undergraduates ($1,913 for tuition and $800 course fee) and $2,901 for graduates ($2,101 for tuition and $800 course fee). Room and board at the University of New Mexico are $640 for on-campus housing (plus a reimbursable $100 damage/performance deposit), and $160 for a meal plan. Housing and subsistence will be provided during the six-week internship for students interning at locations more than two (2) hours from their home.

[Note: Tuition and on-campus room and board are subject to change]

2009 SRI Foundation Research Fellow Scholarship Awarded

The SRI Foundation is pleased to announce that two Ph.D. candidates have been awarded $10,000 Research Scholarships. Ms. Tara A. Dudley of the School of Architecture, University of Texas–Austin and Ms. Dorothy L. Larson of the Department of Anthropology, University of New Mexico are the recipients of our third annual scholarship award. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide academic opportunities through which the potential of historic preservation projects can be realized. Scholars use data from one or more completed historic preservation projects to pursue a substantive research topic that forms the basis of doctoral dissertation. This result will result will (1) new knowledge about the historic properties involved in the preservation projects, (2) new knowledge about the era, location, and people associated with these properties, and (3) public-oriented products that can enhance knowledge and appreciation of the past.

Tara A. Dudley is a doctoral candidate and graduate teaching assistant in the Architectural History and Theory Program of the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin). Her dissertation chairs are Dr. Richard Cleary and Dr. Christopher Long. Dudley’s specializations are nineteenth-century architecture and interior design, and historic preservation. Her research interests include material culture, gender studies, and African-American architectural history. Dudley received her B.A. in Art History from Princeton University and her M.S. in Historic Preservation from UT–Austin. She has interned at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution, and at Shadows-on-the-Teche, a National Trust for Historic Preservation site. She also has worked as a research assistant at the Charles Moore Center for the Study of Place and has work part-time as an architectural historian at Hardy-Heck-Moore, Inc., a cultural resource management firm based in Austin. Dudley’s proposal is titled Entrepreneurship, Ownership, and Identity: The Gens de Couleur Libres and the Architecture of Antebellum New Orleans, 1830–1850Her dissertation will document the free people of color who were most active in New Orleans’ building trades in the decades following mass emigrations for Haiti, when their influence on the culture of the city was paramount. She will identify people of color via their roles as builders, owners, and developers and will investigate the specific built works associated with them. Dudley’s goals are two-fold: (1) emphasize the gens de couleur libres’ socio-economic background as a tool to understanding their personal and professional motivation for involvement with architectural entrepreneurship, and (2) define their place in New Orleans’ architectural history with focus on the integrity of the buildings and the heritage of their builders and owners. Dudley’s research will build on Bernard Lemann’s 1960s planning documents for the City of New Orleans’ Planning Commission, the surveys of the New Orleans Architecture series, nominations of sites previously listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Vieux Carré survey. Her public products will include a series of public lectures in New Orleans and the publication of guidebooks showcasing the architectural contributions of the gens de couleur libres.

Dorothy L. Larson is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque. She is also the Data Manager for the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at UNM. Her dissertation chair is Dr. Patricia Crown. Her specializations include ceramic analysis, as well as data management and analysis. She received her B.A. from the University of Denver and her M.A. from the University of New Mexico. She has had a lengthy career in public archaeology, including cultural resource management and museum work.   Larson’s proposal is entitled, Albuquerque, the Frontier: Exploring Interaction and Cultural Identity in the Albuquerque Area during the Late Developmental to Coalition Period Transition. The overarching theoretical concern of her dissertation research is to evaluate the relationship between social identity and variation in ceramic technology and decorative style. Specifically, her research evaluates whether changes in Albuquerque area ceramics, occurring during the Late Developmental to Coalition period transition (~A.D. 1100–1300), resulted from migration of new people into the area from the Santa Fe region or from shifting social identities or alliances between existing local peoples and northern groups. She will analyze ceramic assemblages recovered from 13 sites from 10 historic preservation projects. Her public products will include a temporary exhibit at the Maxwell Museum, with an associated long-term website. The exhibit and website will target middle school- to high school-age students, and students will participate in the development and testing of the website. To achieve that goal, she is working with the New Mexico Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program and is developing an archaeology curriculum for a summer enrichment program for MESA students. The public project has two main goals: (1) use archaeological research on the Albuquerque area to help enhance secondary science education, and (2) help foster the study and preservation of New Mexico’s diverse cultural heritage.
