Do courses at Winterthur and the University of Delaware differ?

Courses at the two institutions complement each other. Although University of Delaware courses also make use of the Museum’s and various other object collections in the area, they often teach students the theoretical foundations, historical contexts, and interpretation of an object’s significance. University courses also give Fellows the opportunity to read objects and collections from diverse perspectives, such as African American, gender, disability, and diaspora studies. Together, these classes give Winterthur Fellows a holistic approach to object analysis and material literacy.
