1. Archaeology: Macro and Microscopic Analysis of a Pot Shard from a Bronze Age Excavation site in Turkey
* I have learned that I am not a scientist but am glad I took 'Rocks for Jocks' as my one lab science class in college
2. Constantinople: The Depiction of Space in Byzantine Art and Literature
* we will see if this actually works out...
3. Ottoman: The Creation and Destruction of Public Space during the foundation of Ottoman Istanbul in the 16th Century
* the 'negative space' of an urban landscape! we will see if this also works out the way I picture...
4. Museum Studies: A Museum Management Plan for Orhan Pamuk's (actual) Museum of Innocence in Istanbul
* this museum is not actually open yet nor is there any practical information available beyond what is stated in the novel and in a few interviews over the past year. I am still waiting to hear back from "Mr. Pamuk who is currently in New York." But his publisher did thank me for my interest, Hah!
but all must be finished soon....Jess is coming to visit Saturday night and then Liz, Jordan and friends are coming next Wednesday! I must finish so I can play proper hostess and relax with my guests!!
back to work....
