REL Faculty & Research
Once we had a few videos under our belt, it was full-steam ahead for REL movie-making! Over time, we created a few content campaigns introducing REL faculty and showcasing their work. Excluding the conference and lecture recordings, all videos briefly explore (in 1 to 3 minutes) aspects of faculty members’ research, teaching, and academic training through various artifacts, books, and more.

REL Lecture Series
In addition to the promotional videos I started creating in the summer and autumn of 2012, the Department also began filming the different lecture series we hosted throughout the year. I filmed a variety of lectures including the 2012-13 Relevance of the Humanities series as well as a few installments of the Department’s two annual lecture series, the Aronov Lecture and the Day Lecture.
