Erin Benay – Research Highlight

The CWRU Office of Research and Technology recently featured Prof. Benay’s work in this video! It is the first faculty spotlight to focus on a member of any Humanities department. Prof. Benay has published three books and numerous articles related to global circulation and artistic production in early modern Italy. She is also Distinguished Scholar in the Public Humanities and the founder of Pressing Matters, a visual literacy and self-advocacy program for under-resourced teens now in its third year. To read more about this innovative project, please see a recently published article in CAN Journal, which can be found here: https://canjournal.org/2024/05/pressing-matters-art-and-activism-at-zygote-press/
