Faculty Focus: Gavin Richardson
Among the projects Richardson completed in his semester-long leave was a 25-page research paper examining the reverse image of an ancient Roman coin. Richardson’s work offered possible explanations for the design based on his readings of history and literature.
Richardson: “I don’t think you can overestimate the importance of time for a project like this – time to read, time to think, time to dig.” He adds: “It’s nice to have a protected block of time to think these thoughts and chase dead-ends and do the massive amounts of reading it takes to produce high quality scholarship.”
