EP 019: Unbound by Place or Time: Art, Architecture and Design - Dr. William Crow - Into the Absurd
Dr. William Crow, Director of the Lehigh University Art Galleries
"Academic museums and galleries cannot be static, silent storage houses of the past. They hold the potential to be catalysts for conversation, contributors to healthy and engaged communities, and platforms for the productive exploration of ideas. In addition to producing dynamic exhibitions, they can, and must, stimulate community involvement, spark cross-disciplinary collaboration, and inspire new understandings of ourselves, one another, and our world." - Dr. William Crow
How are academic museums and galleries catalysts for conversation in communities and beyond? Maximizing the public value of art is the discussion at the virtual dinner table this week with William B. Crow, PhD, Director of the Lehigh University Art Galleries and Professor of Practice in the Department of Art, Architecture, and Design.
Prior to his appointment at Lehigh, William Crow was the inaugural Educator in Charge of Teaching and Learning at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York, where he oversaw programs serving over 500,000 visitors annually, including programs and resources for schools, educators, families, teens, college and universities, as well as pedagogy and training for all teaching that occurred in the Museum’s three sites. Dr. Crow has held academic appointments at New York University, Johns Hopkins University, and The New School for Social Research.
He received the 2015 University Excellence in Teaching Award at Johns Hopkins, and in 2017 he was awarded a Fulbright Global Specialist Award to conduct professional development for museum staff in South America.
Dr. Crow holds a B.A. in Romance Languages and Art from Wake Forest University, an M.F.A. in Painting from Hunter College of The City University of New York, an M.S.Ed. in Museum Education Leadership from Bank Street, and a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from Columbia University. He is also an alumnus of the Getty Leadership Institute, Museum Leaders: The Next Generation Program (2006), the Columbia University School of Business Executive Leadership Program (2016) and the National Guild for Community Art Education Leadership Institute (2016).
Dr. Crow’s current research interests include decision-making and evaluative judgments in the arts, epistemological development, and the cognitive benefits of sketching.
