FACULTY NEWS | May 15, 2019

Liberal Studies Teaching Award for Global Site Faculty Recipients Announced

Liberal Studies congratulates Professors Gabriela Dragnea Horvath and Colleen Pearl, the 2019 recipients of the Liberal Studies Teaching Award for Global Site Faculty. 

The award recognizes faculty members teaching Liberal Studies students at the study away sites in the NYU global network for their excellence in teaching and commitment to global pedagogy in the LS curriculum. Honorees exemplify excellence in the interdisciplinary, global and decentered teaching, distinctive of both LS and GLS, and help LS students connect to the global/local environment. Nominations were submitted by students, and reviewed by a selection committee.

Gabriela Dragnea

Professor Gabriela Dragnea Horvath teaches Arts and Cultures and Global Works and Society at NYU Florence. She serves as general editor for the on-line publication Voyages-Journal of Contemporary Humanism. Her publications include essays, book reviews, translations of poetry and short stories in magazines and anthologies in Italy, Romania, USA, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia. She has authored a monograph in Italian, Shakespeare ermetismo, mistica, magia (Rome, 2003) and has co-authored a book of fiction in Romanian (Preludi epici, Epic Preludes, Bucharest, 1990). Her comparative study Theatre, Magic and Philosophy: William Shakespeare, John Dee and the Italian legacy was published by Routledge in 2017. 

“I have never seen a person with such a passion for teaching and education. Every time [Professor Dragnea] gives a lecture, the students can feel her energy and joy that comes from her love of education. She makes sure everyone fully understands the subjects. You can see the pride and happiness in her eyes when the students engage in intellectual debates.”

—LS student nominator

Colleen Pearl

Professor Colleen Pearl teaches Writing at NYU Paris. She received her doctorate from the Rhetoric Department at UC Berkeley in 2009, and she has been teaching in Liberal Studies at NYU Paris since 2010. Her current academic work focuses on survival, critical theory, and 20th century French ethical philosophy. When she is not teaching NYU students, she also leads historical walking tours of Paris neighborhoods. 

“[Professor Pearl] does more than teach writing. She has opened me up to new ways of thinking and viewing the world. It is because of her that I notice all the complexities to any and every problem, the different sides to everything, and most importantly, how I can make a difference... From the male gaze to gender norms to environmental issues, Professor Pearl has opened me up to the complexities of every issue.”
