ItemNo Preview AvailableThe workshop(Manchester University Press, 2023-06-06)The painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer is one of the most important figures of the German Renaissance. This book accompanies the first major exhibition of the Whitworth art gallery's outstanding Dürer collection in over half a century. It offers a new perspective on Dürer as an intense observer of the worlds of manufacture, design and trade that fill his graphic art. Artworks and artefacts examined here expose understudied aspects of Dürer's art and practice, including his attentive examination of objects of daily domestic use, his involvement in economies of local manufacture and exchange, the microarchitectures of local craft and, finally, his attention to cultures of natural and philosophical inquiry and learning.

The juggernaut, a form of religious procession in which the bodies of ecstatic Hindu worshippers were supposedly crushed under the wheels of wagons bearing statues of Hindu gods, is most often associated with the city of Puri in the state Odissa. This chapter aims to unpack some of the emotional dynamics of the ‘Indian’ juggernaut viewed through the prism of early modern northern European religious anxieties. It first examines the textual and visual forms through which Europeans created the juggernaut (c. 1300-1600), and then examines the European sources that likely also helped to shape it. European reports of worshippers self-harming in juggernaut-style processions were initially fed through Mediterranean channels. However, the juggernaut seems to have gained particular polemical and visual traction in Northern European printed visual and textual representations.

ItemLearning to Teach in the Field: Five Professors Tell How Running an Overseas Study Tour Improved Their Classroom Teaching(The Forum on Education Abroad, 2019)This article examines the positive impact of overseas study tours on the teaching philosophies and classroom strategies used by the professors running the tours. While education scholars have identified long-term benefits of overseas study tours for students, less attention has been paid to flow-on benefits for teachers. This article aims to address this gap in the literature by having five Australian professors describe how their international study tour experiences changed and improved their teaching in the classroom. The article shows that in the process of developing a successful overseas study tour, professors can learn lessons about teaching that they can use productively in the classroom.
