In 2011, I enrolled in the Masters in Middle Eastern Studies program at Tel Aviv University, which has a very strong political science&#160; and&#160;contemporary history emphasis. My intention in joinging the program was to become involved in NGO or IGO work in Israel. However, after a few months back in an academic setting, I realized two things: first, that I would like to remain in academia, rather than entering government work; and second, that my passion still lies with Islamic architecture in Southeast Asia.&#160;<\/p>\n<p>This month I was approved to begin writing my thesis for the program. For my project, I have chosen to compare the architecture of two mosques, with a special emphasis on Islamic concepts of sacred space and how the built environment is imbued with an Islamic meaning. The mosques I have selected are the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and the Masjid Agung of Demak. I am beginning to learn Indonesian and hope to start studying Dutch in the near future, with the goal of entering a Ph.D. program in Architectural History or Southeast Asian Studies, where I will be able to continue research on the mosques of Indonesia.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Congratulatiuons, Kat!<\/p>\n<p>If you are an alum of the Art Department and have news to share with us, please let us know!&#160; <a href=\"mailto:art@truman.edu\">art@truman.edu<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Sara Orel (Art History) put out a call on Facebook recently for information on what Art History alumni were up to.
